Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer said Wednesday he's ready to play without limitations as he returns from a two-game absence due to a concussion.

Hoyer is slated to start Houston's regular-season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He said both he and the Texans took a conservative approach his recovery. The veteran suffered his second concussion of the season in Houston's Dec. 13 loss to the New England Patriots.

Via the Houston Chronicle:

“I think for me I didn’t take it lightly,” Hoyer said. “I saw several medical professionals, not only the doctors here, but other ones and did a lot of research, talked to a lot of people. I feel great, no reservations or anything like that. I’m ready to go play and play the way I always do.”

In 10 games this season, Hoyer has thrown for 2,357 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. Houston can clinch the AFC South title with a win Sunday.
