I expect J-Jo will play. The Texans are going to need him to cover in the three receiver sets, which the Colts are dangerous in. The deep speed of T.Y. Hilton will be an issue. The depth at receiver continues to be an issue with Braxton Miller and Strong out. Strong always had his best games against the Colts, so not having him will be disappointing.
It’s going to be great to have Clowney back (he will play I’m sure). He’s going to occupy Anthony Costanzno for most of the day and allow Whitney Mercilus to go on the other side of the Colts line, which has been shaky at best. Miller will also play, no doubt.

The fact they have not ruled out Hilton means he likely will play. I also have no doubt that Luck will play.
