Texans' Noah Brown: Returns to practice

Brown (back) returned to practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After being listed as a non-participant both Tuesday and Wednesday, Brown's presence at Thursday's practice offers hope that he could be available for Saturday's playoff opener against the Browns. Houston will post its final injury report of the week later Thursday, when the wideout's official injury status for the wild-card game will be known.
