Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was held to just five catches for 37 yards in a 21-7 AFC Wild Card playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.
After the game, Hopkins told James Palmer of NFL Network that he gutted through injury just to stay on the field:

DeAndre Hopkins told me he suffered a grade 3 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in the first half. played through a lot of pain in the second half. Wouldn’t come out. Needed help getting his shirt on. Couldn’t shake anyone’s hand with his right hand.
Hopkins went to the locker room with under two minutes left in the first half for an evaluation. He did not record a catch in the second half.
For the season, the six-year pro caught 115 passes for 1,572 yards and 11 touchdowns. He led the league with 13 receiving scores the year before despite playing with three different starting quarterbacks. Hopkins is one of the game’s best wideouts (if not the best) when healthy.
