Houston won't have a trio of starters on Sunday in their Week 4 matchup with Jacksonville.
Safety and captain Jimmie Ward, wide receiver Tank Dell and running back Joe Mixon will miss Sunday's home game against the Jaguars.
Dell, Ward and running back Dameon Pierce were ruled out on Friday due to injury. Yesterday, the Texans elevated running back J.J. Taylor from the practice squad.
Therefore, Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, Taylor and British Brooks will be the running backs active on Sunday.
Additionally, with Dell out, wide receiver John Metchie III will be active for the first time this season.
