Hopkins' health is a big deal considering how big a part he is of the Texans' passing game.

Hopkins has 99 receptions for 1,142 yards and seven touchdowns on 141 targets. He has at least five catches and 40 yards in every game this season and 17 games in a row dating back to last season. It's the longest active streak in the NFL and the fourth-longest streak in league history.
