Houston Texans’ Tidbits:
DeAndre Hopkins: The 2nd-time all-Pro wide receiver has been dealing with a calf injury for quite some time. Had this game meant something he’d be out there but it’s just best to not to put him in harm’s way. I’m sure he’s looking to even improve even more — if that’s possible — off of this season and he deserves a well-deserved day off. I’m perfectly fine with this as I’m sure they’ll be lining upBraxton Millera lot withWill Fuller. Miller needs to make more an impression to ensure

his value on this roster is warranted. I think whenDeshaun Watsonreturns, that could make wonders as Miller’s only touchdown pass that he caught was from him.
Jeff Allen: The Texans have decided to hold out the guard — quasi-left tackle — for the rest of the season. They’re just erring on the side of caution and this isn’t a game where he’s absolutely needed as we close out a somewhat miserable season. Julién Davenport made some nice strides at left tackle last Sunday and although he committed the face mask penalty early in the game, he has proven that he’s worth keeping around as we watch him develop. He has tremendous size as opposed to his counterpart so if there’s any upside to the future pieces to this offensive line, he’ll be one of them.
And here’s the injury reportfor the Indianapolis Colts:
T/GDenzelle Good, Knee
RBFrank Gore, Rest
DTJohnathan Hankins, Ankle
TEJason Vander Laan, Concussion
WRDonte Moncrief, Ankle
Good, Hankins and Vander Laan areOUT.Moncrief isQUESTIONABLE.Gore isPROBABLE.
Indianapolis Colts Tidbits:
Donte Moncrief:Jacoby Brissett‘s considerable target outside ofT.Y. Hiltonhas been mostly an afterthought this month as he has missed the last three games. His is listed as QUESTIONABLE but I doubt that he’s active for Sunday in a meaningless game. He did practice this week so it’s a possibility but it sounds like he’s a bit late to the party, right? He’ll be an unrestricted free agent this off season so it remains to be seen how high the Colts are on him at this time, especially when your best ability is your availability.
