Houston Texans’ Tidbits:
Will Fuller:Fuller hasn’t seen action since Week 10 on the road against the Los Angeles Rams, when he was sandwiched catching a ball thatTom Savagethrew into double-coverage. Since then, he’s been recovering from some cracked ribs but is now ready to go for this week. He was limited in practice Wednesday but has done so in full for the rest of this past week. I was all for not having him play through pain as we’re not currently contending for anything this season. But nonetheless, it’s good to see him back out there as he’s additional, speedy threat in the air for the Houston Texans offense.
Xavier Su’a-Filo:Su’a-Filo sustained a groin injury in last week’s contest against the Tennessee Titans and did not get back to the practice field until Friday. However, he is expected to be available to start today to help out the left side of the offensive line. Although he hasn’t been great, he’s been reliable enough to keep around and there’s seems to be improvement on his end as well.

San Francisco 49ers Tidbits:
Trenton Brown:The starting right tackle has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past couple of weeks but he seems to be trending in the direction of playing.Kyle Shanahan has officially ruled him a game-time decisionbut we’ll have to see if he’s ultimately a go for the Niners today. He has been playing rather well at this position, earning a 79.3 seasonal grade from Pro Football Focus.
