The passing attack of the Houston Texans will again be limited as they prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon. No Andre Johnson in the lineup means that Kevin Walter will start in his place, and T.J. Yates will again start for the Texans offense as Jeff Garcia and Jake Delhomme are inactive.
Plenty of handing off of the ball to Arian Foster and Ben Tate will occur, but can Yates make a big play to win the game? Here is the inactive and injury list for the Texans:
