Hopkins misses 1st game of career vs. Colts

Houston Texans star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will officially miss the first game of his career Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, being ruled inactive due to a calf injury that was expected to be a game-time decision.

Despite missing Week 17, Hopkins is likely to lead the league in receiving touchdowns (13) and has already reached his second-best career mark in yards (1,378).

The 4-11 Texans will likely start Braxton Miller in place of Hopkins alongside Will Fuller. Chris Thompson and Cobi Hamilton should also be in line for expanded roles.
