INDIANAPOLIS – The Texans elevated wide receiver Johnny Johnson III because of their lack of depth at the position due to injuries.
Noah Brown is out with a back injury (transverse process fracture, per sources). And Robert Woods was ruled out with a hip injury and didn’t practice all week. His status was determined leading up to kickoff after he tested it out during warmups.
