The read

There's a playoff line running through this one: Titans sit in a postseason spot, while Texans are on the outside chasing a crossover, so it means a little more to the club playing from behind. Momentum cuts both ways: TEN arrive on a 2-game win streak, HOU coming off a loss.

Who is unavailable, in each club’s own words to the league. A day-to-day designation still allows a start, so a name here is not always a scratch; an injured-list stint is.
