O'Brien optimistic about tight ends for Sunday

Despite suffering multiple injuries at tight end, the Texans hope to have at least two ready to go for Sunday's game against Indianapolis. 
"Griff (Ryan Griffin) is day-to-day. I think (Stephen) Anderson is day-to-day. C.J. (Fiedorowicz) was out there today. He had a good practice. So I don't know yet the exact - who's going to be active for the game. I don't know if I'll know that until the end of the week. I feel pretty good about it though. Feel pretty good. At least two of those three will be active."
Griffin is currently in the league's concussion protocol while Anderson is working his way back from a hamstring injury after being inactive for the past two games against Tennessee and Minnesota. On Monday, the undrafted rookie said he was hopeful to be back in time for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Colts.
"I'm just excited to get back," Anderson said. "I felt like I let my team down. Just excited to get back and make some plays."
Anderson and Griffin did not participate in Wednesday's practice. 
The (3-2) Texans will host the (2-3) Colts on Sunday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. on NBC and SportsRadio 610.

Anderson and Griffin did not participate in Wednesday's practice. In Week 5 against Tennessee, Fiedorowicz suffered a knee injury but started at Minnesota and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

"I feel good," Fiedorowicz said Monday. "My knee is fine actually. I'm not really very sore today. I feel pretty good."

On Monday, Anderson said he was hopeful to be back in time for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Colts.
 
"I'm just excited to get back," Anderson said. "I felt like I let my team down. Just excited to get back and make some plays."
