AFC South champion Indianapolis will be missing six starters against Houston.

Cornerback Greg Toler is out again with a groin injury, while receiver LaVon Brazill also is inactive for the Colts (8-5) with an ankle injury.

The other players sitting out Sunday were outside linebacker Pat Angerer, fullback Stanley Havili, defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois, right guard Jeff Linkenbach and center Samson Satele. Angerer was the only one not listed on the injury report.

Houston (2-11) will try to snap an 11-game losing streak without starting tight end Garrett Graham, who is out with a hamstring injury and will be replaced by rookie Ryan Griffin.

The Texans' other inactives are offensive linemen Andrew Gardner, Alex Kupper and Cody White; defensive end Tim Jamison; safety Jawanza Starling and quarterback T.J. Yates.
