The Houston Texans listed a whopping 23 players on their injury report. Of those 23 players, only 12 of those players were limited in some capacity. The big news however is that the Texans will be without wide receiver Andre Johnson once again. Also missing for the Texans will be safety Daniel Manning who is still dealing with an ankle injury.
Defensive end Antonio Smith is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, missing two days of practice and was limited Friday. Right tackle Eric Winston was also listed as questionable, missing two days of practice and being limited on Friday. Both are expected to play on Sunday, however.
