Houston Texans’ Tidbits:
Will Fuller:Fuller has been battling a hamstringinjury for the past month. He has continued to play but apparently it has flared up again. In addition, he has been limited in practice all week so if he can’t go,Braxton Millerwill be at the ready to start in his stead.
Quintin Demps:Demps injured his calf this past Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings and has not practiced this week.Eddie Pleasantand sophomore corner backCorey Moorewill likely be handling the strong safety duties for this Sunday.
Brian Peters:The multi-talented member of the Texans injured his quad muscle against the Vikings. Although he’s listed as linebacker,Peters had been handling the kickoffs as of latebecause of whatBill O’Briensaw in his work ethic at practice. Our defensive line is already quite deep so Peters was the odd man out. Not to mention that he was a kicker in high school and has bounced around the league quite a bit, finding a home with the Texans for now.Nick Novakwill resume the kickoff duties until Peters is ready to return.
And here’s the injury reportfor the Indianapolis Colts:

Indianapolis Colts Tidbits:
T.Y. Hilton:Luck’s favorite target, Hilton is suffering from a hip injury apparently sustained from the Colts match up with the Chicago Bears.He did not practice Wednesday and was limited Thursdaybut participated in full today and was seen in good spirits. Although he is ruled as questionable, it’s likely that we’ll see him lined up Sunday night. Two-year receiverPhillip Dorsettwill be on-hand just in case that Hilton can’t go.

Quan Bray:With starter Donte Moncriefnot returning for at least a couple of more weeksfrom a shoulder injury, a lot of the offensive load will rely heavily on Bray as well asChester Rogers‘ shoulders outside of T.Y. Hilton. Bray hasn’t practiced all week so it’s a coin-toss on whether or not he’ll be able to contribute to an already depleted unit.
