Houston Texans’ Tidbits:
Lamar Miller:Miller injured his ankle two weeks ago in the contest against the Jags and hasn’t practiced all week. Although I’m sure he wanted to play, his ankle didn’t cooperate, causing him to be grounded for the first time this season last week. 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 Titans. He’ll also be fully rested for the playoffs.
Jadeveon Clowney: Clowney has been dealing with elbow/wrist injuries all season and he didn’t practice at all this week. I’d imagine if this game mattered, he’d be out there but it’s wise to rest him for the playoffs. The Texans have done the right thing by sitting him.
Johnathan Joseph: Joseph is still reeling from cracked ribs and bruised lung that have caused him to miss two games. He did play last Saturday against the Bengals and recorded two tackles.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 playoffs. I doubt that we’ll see him play Sunday ashe needed a pain-killerjust to get through last week’s game.
Brian Cushing: Cushing has ankle injury that he’s been dealing with for awhile. Although he’s questionable, I’d likely rule him OUT for Sunday or at the very least, have him play a few series if he wants to get out there. I honestly don’t see any benefit to the latter. It’s best that he rests to be ready for the playoffs as well.Max BulloughandAkeem Dentare more than capable to fill-in for him.
And here’s the injury reportfor the Tennessee Titans:
TEJace Amaro, Quad
LSBeau Brinkley, Illness

LBSean Spence, Illness
McCourtyisQUESTIONABLE.Amaro, Brinkley, Sims, Smith and Spence arePROBABLE.

Tennessee Titans Tidbits:
Jason McCourty: McCourtypracticed for the first time since Week 15this past Thursday. Hehas been limitedbut his reps were apparently increased Friday. He’s expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday. Whether he plays or not will not matter to us but it’s important to know that a talented corner may be out there Sunday. I’d personally shut him down for the season.
The Houston Texans hit the road for the last time in the regular season to take on theTitansatNissan Stadium.
