Texans-Colts Wednesday injury report: Justin Reid, Lonnie Johnson out

The Houston Texans announced their final injury report for Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, with notable names being out.

Typically, Wednesday’s are the first day of injury reports. However, with the Houston Texans hosting the Indianapolis Colts on “Thursday Night Football,” it is the last, which depicts who will and won’t play on the primetime, short-week game.

The Texans ruled out three defenders; safety Justin Reid (concussion/shoulder), safety Mike Adams (concussion) and cornerback Lonnie Johnson (ankle). Each suffered their respective injuries in Week 11’s blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Texans-Ravens Wednesday injury report: Lonnie Johnson, Greg Mancz return to practice

The Houston Texans got some favorable news on the injury front as rookie CB Lonnie Johnson and G/T Greg Mancz both cleared concussion protocol.

The Houston Texans received favorable news ahead of their Week 11 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium Sunday at 12:00 p.m. CT.

On Wednesday, both rookie cornerback Lonnie Johnson and guard Greg Mancz cleared concussion protocol, which meant both players were back at practice.

The Texans did not have any players who were non-participants, nor did they have any players who were deemed full participants.

The Ravens had five players who were not participants in practice, including CB Brandon Carr (not injury related), RB Mark Ingram (not injury related), DT Michael Pierce (ankle), CB Jimmy Smith (not injury related), and S Earl Thomas (not injury related/knee).

WR Marquise Brown (ankle) and WR Chris Moore (thumb) were both limited participants in practice.

Can the Texans count on CB Lonnie Johnson to play against the Ravens?

The Houston Texans have not had CB Lonnie Johnson since Week 8. Will he be ready to go against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11?

The Houston Texans have been thin at cornerback, so thin that the unit took a big hit when rookie Lonnie Johnson left the Week 8 encounter with a concussion.

Normally, when a rookie is injured, it doesn’t have an impact on the unit. But given how banged up the cornerback group was at that point, Johnson leaving the game had a big effect. He was also unavailable the next week as the Texans took on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London at Wembley Stadium.

Houston may get their rookie back for their Week 11 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

At a minimum, Johnson is making progress to get out of the concussion protocol and help the Texans secondary.

The Texans played cornerbacks Johnathan Joseph, Gareon Conley, and Keion Crossen against the Jaguars. If the Texans are able to get back the 6-2, 213-pound second-round pick from Kentucky, it will help in their ability to lock down the Ravens’ passing game.
