Cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins (ankle) and right tackle David Quessenberry (non-injury related) were sidelined Thursday, but both participated fully Friday.
Wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), center Ben Jones (knee), left guard Rodger Saffold (shoulder) and Denico Autry (knee) all popped up on the injury report earlier this week but were full participants Friday and have no designation heading into Sunday's game.
The Texans listed tight end Jordan Akins (illness) and receivers Chris Conley (knee) and Chris Moore (illness) as questionable.
