Where he fits
Will Anderson Jr. plays for the HOU as a DL, wearing number 51. He's in year 4 of his career.
His job: The team's own depth chart lists him first at left defensive end — that's the order they'd normally use.
Last time out: He was active but didn't record any counting stats. He was only on the field for about 0% of the offensive plays, so he is a situational piece right now.
On the injury report
No game designation · Did Not Participate In Practice
He is on the injury report with a not injury related - resting player issue. He sat out practice that day. Teams rest players for all kinds of reasons, so on its own this is a flag to watch, not a ruling. No game designation has been filed, so as of the latest report he is expected to play.
