The Houston Texans (7-6) take on the Tennessee Titans (5-8) with a laundry list of injuries. 

But at least one formerly injured player is expected to make a return. 

Texans wide receiver Noah Brown, listed as questionable with a knee injury, is now expected to play, Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning. 

Collins was thought to be a game-time decision, but he is feeling good enough to play — and the Texans need him. 

It was also no surprise that Nico Collins, who is nursing a calf injury, is a no-go for Sunday's game. 

Collins didn't practice all week. He was also extremely limited in Week 14. And. he missed Week 10 due to injury. It has been a difficult season for the Texans wide receiver. But with Collins out and Brown in, it can be expected that Brown will get his share of snaps against Tennesse. 

Kickoff for the Texans and Titans matchup is set for 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
