The Texans will face the Jets on the road without a pair of team captains.
Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and safety Jimmie Ward are inactive at New York this evening. Those two captains, along with running back Dameon Pierce and offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson and cornerback Myles Bryant will not suit up for Thursday Night Football.
But linebacker Henry To'oTo'o is back and active after missing a pair of games due to a concussion.
In Pierce's absence, the Texans signed running back J.J. Taylor to the 53-man roster. He's appeared in three games this season, and was on the practice squad.
