Here are the injury reports leading up the game for each team:
HOUSTON TEXANS
Friday, Dec. 16 Game Status
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
G Jeff Allen
Concussion Out
TE C.J. Fiedorowicz Concussion Out
S Don Jones Illness Out
OLB Whitney Mercilus Back Questionable
OLB John Simon Chest Out
The loss of Fiedorowicz will be a big blow to the offense as they take on a tough Jaguars secondary. The offensive line has already been decimated by injuries this season and has struggled in recent weeks so with another starter in Jeff Allen out, this only makes it that much shakier up front. I think Mercilus will play, but if not it won’t be a huge deal against an awful offensive line.
LIMITED PARTICIPATION

DE Jadeveon Clowney Elbow/Wrist —
ILB Brian Cushing Back/Ankle —
RB Tyler Ervin Ribs Questionable
WR DeAndre Hopkins Hamstring —
CB Johnathan Joseph Ribs Questionable
ILB Benardrick McKinney Wrist —
RB Lamar Miller Ankle/Ribs —
No doubt in my mind that Clowney will play. He was the player of the game last week and whatever ailment he might be feeling I have no doubt he will be there for his team. As will most of these guys.
