The Texans listed 16 players on their injury report on Thursday, starting wide receiver Andre Johnson and cornerback Johnathan Joseph were limited.

The Houston Texans have 16 players -- or 30 percent -- of their roster listed on Thursday's injury report. Most of the players were listed as probable which include starting quarterback Matt Schaub (elbow) and starting running back Arian Foster (knee).

Foster was actually limited for Wednesday's practice with a knee that was slowing him down, but that limitation seemed to be just precautionary reasons.

Starting wide receiver Andre Johnson has been limited over the last two days of practices with a groin injury, but he is fully expected to be in the lineup and good to go on Sunday.

A pair of defensive starters were limited with starting cornerback Johnathan Joseph (groin) and defensive end Antonio Smith (ankle).
