Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans injury report and starting lineup - November 21 | NFL Week 11

The Tennessee Titans are attempting to limp to the finish line after Derrick Henry and Julio Jones' injuries. Between the Browns and the Titans, it is hard to choose who gets the crown for "most injuries in the AFC in Week 11." They will need to defeat the Houston Texans in Sunday's divisional battle to get to the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Houston Texans are 1-8 and jobs are on the line. Going forward, every win is about keeping a paycheck in 2022. It might be enough to keep some players around next season if they can upset the Titans in Sunday's game. Otherwise, this game would be a downpayment extending the careers of coaches and players.

The Titans have had injuries on offense around the quarterback. Meanwhile, the Texans have been healthy around the quarterback, but Taylor's been injured most of the season. The Texans are the clear underdogs in this game, but can they step up and knock out a hobbled Titans team?

Which players will miss Sunday's game? Here's a look at the health of both teams, according to CBS Sports.
