Houston Texans star cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. revealed that New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is the most challenging opponent he has encountered in the league.

Other Texans players also face uncertain statuses for the Raiders game. Among them are linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, defensive linemen Darrell Taylor and defensive end Derek Stingley Jr., running backs Woody Marks and Nick Chubb, and wide receivers Christian Kirk and Justin Watson, who are dealing with various ailments.
