The Texans are getting healthy just in time, as a pair of key contributors should be back for Sunday night’s game against the 49ers.
Texans coach Gary Kubiak said linebacker Brian Cushing had been cleared after last week’s concussion, and “indicated” that left tackle Duane Brown should be ready to play Sunday, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Cuhsing’s absence in the fourth quarter coincided with Houston’s collapse against the Seahawks last week.
Brown’s been out with a turf toe injury, and having his best pass-protector back should help quarterback Matt Schaub recover as well.
