The Houston Texans
activated running back David Johnson from the reserve/COVID-19
list on Wednesday.
He landed on the list last Friday and missed Sunday's 36-7 loss
at Chicago.
Johnson, who also missed three games in November due to a
concussion, leads the Texans with 452 rushing yards and four
touchdowns. He also has 16 catches for 161 yards and one score
in nine games.
Houston (4-9) also placed two defensive starters on
season-ending injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game at
Indianapolis (9-4).
Defensive tackle Brandon Dunn (pelvic fracture) and safety
Justin Reid (torn thumb ligament) had both started all 13 games
before getting hurt in the loss to the Bears.
Dunn, 28, contributed 26 tackles, three quarterback hits and one
fumble recovery this season.
Reid, 23, had surgery on Tuesday. The 2018 third-round pick had
83 tackles, four passes defensed and two sacks.
