We found out a few days ago that David Johnson, who was once actually believed by some one person earlier in this calendar year to be in possession of talent comparable to DeAndre Hopkins, would make his triumphant return to Houston’s backfield this week. Yesterday, the Texans announced two of their other running backs—namely, Duke Johnson and C.J. Prosise—would miss today’s contest at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Houston #Texans CB Phillip Gaines (knee), RB Duke Johnson (neck), RB C.J. Prosise and CB John Reid (neck) will not travel with the team to Indianapolis and have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Colts. #HOUvsIND

This means Houston’s one-two punch at RB against the Colts this afternoon will be David Johnson and Buddy Howell. That would upset me a whole lot more if I wasn’t dead inside when it comes to your Houston Texans. I’m just going to watch and enjoy the spectacle that is Deshaun Watson as much as I can for the next three weeks.
Anyway, here’s a list of the Texans’ inactives for Week 15:
