One player who won't be on the injury report for Houston, though, is rookie safety Jaylen Reed, who is set to be elevated from Injured Reserve following his Week 13 forearm injury against the Indianapolis Colts, but now returns after a five-week absence to become the Texans' starting safety next to Calen Bullock. A big and welcomed reinforcement to a back-end that's faced a barrage of challenges this season.
