Houston Texans’ Tidbits:

Lamar Miller: Miller injured his ankle late in last week’s contest against the Jags and hasn’t practiced all week.He has indicated that he’ll be ready to playSunday. Although that’s what he wants, his ankle may not cooperate, causing him to be grounded for the first time this season. I’d expectAlfred Blue,Jonathan GrimesandAkeem Huntto be at the ready just in case. So far, Miller has a whopping 1,073 yards and four touchdowns in 2016. I personally feel he should sit out as we have enough talent in the running game to beat the Bengals.

Jonathan Joseph:Joseph is still reeling from cracked ribs and bruised lung that have caused him to miss the past two games.He has signaled that he’s feeling better but it still remains to be seenif he’ll be available tonight.A.J. Bouyewill continue to start in his stead if he can’t go. Again, he’s another guy that could miss this game as we’ll need to be full strength for the Tennessee Titans next week.

And here’s the injury reportfor the Cincinnati Bengals:

LBVontaze Burfict, Knee/Concussion

GClint Boling, Shoulder

TETyler Eifert, Back

Cincinnati Bengals Tidbits:

A.J. Green:Green has been out since Week 11 against their match against the Buffalo Bills. Hesuffered a Level 2 hamstring tear where at least half of the hamstringwas torn. This is an extremely devastating injury for the Bengals’ offense but they’ve pressed sans the extra wins in the column he provides. For the first time since then, his status has been upgraded to questionable but with the Bengals flailing — and likely out of playoff contention — since his injury, I don’t see any reason for him to get out there. ExpectBrandon LaFellandTyler Boydto get most of the touches on the wideout front.

Jeremy Hill:Hill suffered a knee injury in practice this week that has limited his participation throughout.He has been ruled as a game-time decisionand is one huge chunk of their offense. He already has nine rushing touchdowns on the season with three of them occurring in the last three weeks. I’d expect him to play butRex Burkheadwill be at the ready if Hill can’t go.

The Houston Texans are back at home to take on the Bengals atNRG Stadiumtonight.

Kickoff is scheduled for7:25 p.m. CST.

The game will be televised onCBS/NFL Networkand broadcast on610 SportsRadio AM/100.3 FM (KILT)& ESPN Deportes 1180 (KGOL) in Spanish.
