Houston expects guard Ed Ingram plus tackle Blake Fisher to be available after full practices.

Jarrett Patterson is set to start at center in place of Jake Andrews after allowing no pressures in limited duty against the Rams, according to Pro Football Focus.
With slot options sidelined, the Texans will lean on veteran Justin Watson and rookie Jaylin Noel for increased snaps inside.
Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios are sidelined by hamstring injuries and have not practiced in recent weeks, per the team.
