Rex Burkhead expected to start

FF Today's Take: Johnson is also dealing with a thigh issue. His absence will mean more work for Rex Burkhead with Royce Freeman playing in a backup role. Burkhead is a suitable Flex option this week if you're desperate.

Officially active: Kyler Murray, Deandre Hopkins, Boston Scott, Brandin Cooks, Corey Davis. Officially inactive: Jalen Hurts, Allen Robinson, Justin Fields, Sterling Shepard, David Johnson, Kadarius Toney, Phillip Lindsay.

#Texans RB David Johnson (illness, thigh) is not expected to play today vs. the #Colts, source said.

Tyrod Taylor is out of the game, with Davis Mills taking over for Houston at QB.

#Texans veteran LB Zach Cunningham is a healthy inactive today for disciplinary reasons. This comes after Houston did the samething to safety Justin Reid last week.

Kamu Grugier-Hill on franchise-record 20 tackles: 'It's an honor, man. My whole career I've been pigeonholed as a special-teamer.' Said this is a place he wants to be, said he's proving 'He can be a legit player'

Royce Freeman gets his first carry as a Texan, and he gets -- no gain! Welcome to the Texans, Royce. Get used to it.

The Houston Texans have made a flurry of roster moves as they get ready for their Week 13 rematch with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Texans activated linebacker Christian Kirksey and center Justin Britt from injured reserve. They will be ready to go against Indianapolis.

Houston placed receiver Danny Amendola (knee) and defensive end DeMarcus Walker (hamstring) on injured reserve, clearing two open roster spots.

The Texans also opened up another spot on the roster by waiving defensive back Cre’von LeBlanc

Another possession, another turnover forced by Indy. Seemed like 15 guys punched the ball out of Pharaoh Brown's hands.

The Miami Dolphins are set to take on the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon with a chance to win their sixth game of the season.

Brian Flores’ team will be without safety Brandon Jones for the second week in a row, as he’s been dealing with ankle and elbow injuries. Eric Rowe really stepped up against Carolina, so it could be assumed that the same will happen this week.

Miami also announced that running back Phillip Lindsay, tight end Adam Shaheen, cornerback Trill Williams, defensive tackle John Jenkins, and linebacker Darius Hodge will be inactive for the Week 13 matchup

HOUSTON — When Tyrod Taylor signed with the Houston Texans in March, it appeared to be the perfect marriage between the two parties.

Taylor was in need of a home to prolong his career after losing the starting quarterback job to rookie Justin Herbert in Los Angeles, while the Texans were in pursuit of a placeholder under center with Deshaun Watson requesting a trade just two months prior.

Since his arrival, coach David Culley has remained adamant about Taylor retaining his role as Houston’s starting quarterback, until Sunday’s 31-0 loss to the Indianapolis Colts

Houston Texans center Justin Britt was pleased with the way the defense played against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13.

Albeit the Texans lost 31-0 to the Colts at NRG Stadium, most of the problem was due to the offense’s inability to play complementary football. Houston’s offense generated 141 yards of total offense, their second-fewest yards total offense of 2021.

“We’ve got to figure out a way to score points, stay on the field, keep our defense off the field,” Britt said. “I thought they played really hard and fought for pretty much most of the game against a really good running team. But if we leave them out on the field, then we’re not doing them justice.â€
