A playoff spot is on the line for the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts tonight. But while the Texans my have the disadvantage of playing on the road, they’ll have two key players back in the lineup.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Texans will have star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and rookie pass rushing sensation Will Anderson back for tonight’s game against the Colts. Tunsil has been battling a groin issue, while Anderson has missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
“Good news for the #Texans in a huge game today: Pro Bowl LT Laremy Tunsil (groin) and defensive rookie of the year candidate DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) are both expected to play, sources say. Both are listed as questionable,” Rapoport wrote.
Tunsil is a Pro Bowl left tackle who was recently voted to the fourth of his career. Anderson was a first-round pick who has seven sacks in his first NFL season.

A win for the Texans would secure them the AFC South title, putting a stunning end to a rebuild that seemed doomed for years.
A win for the Colts would give them a playoff spot, but they would still need the Jaguars to lose on Sunday in order to clinch the division.
Who will be victorious today?
