Texans' Keke Coutee shedding rust

Sidelined with a sprained ankle since getting hurt in a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee made a healthy return Sunday.

However, the former fourth-round draft pick from Texas Tech is still shedding rust. During a 13-12 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Coutee caught two passes for 7 yards on four targets.

"It was OK," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "A lot of rust. He's a hard-working guy. He'll work hard to get better."

Coutee was happy to be back after being limited to six games as a rookie due to chronic hamstring problems.
