Texans' David Johnson: Not expected to play

Johnson (illness/thigh), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, is unlikely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Johnson didn't practice in any fashion this week while battling flu symptoms and a thigh injury, leaving the Texans pessimistic that he'll be ready to suit up Sunday. Officially confirmation on Johnson's status will arrive 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Texans release their inactive list. If Johnson is in fact out, Rex Burkhead would likely pick up additional work as the clear top option in the Houston backfield.
