Texans inactives: DT Folorunso Fatukasi, OT Blake Fisher, ILB Jamal Hill, DE Jerry Hughes, CB Jeff Okudah, WR Steven Sims

Foley Fatukasi is dealing with a foot injury while Blake Fisher is still in concussion protocol. Denico Autry is active despite not practicing this week with an oblique injury. The rest of the inactives are healthy scratches.

Here's a look at the Titans inactives: RB Tyjae Spears, CB Gabe Jeudy-Lally, OL Leroy Watson and TE David Martin-Robinson.

The most notable inactive is Spears, the team's backup running back. This means the Texans should have a heavy dosage of Tony Pollard today.

Kickoff between the Titans and Texans is set for 12 noon CT. The game can be watched on CBS or streamed on Paramount+.
