Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Cornerback Johnathan Joseph returned to the
practice field for the Houston Texans on Friday, though his status for
Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens remains uncertain.
Joseph, a Pro Bowl selection in 2011 and one of the Texans' core defensive
players, sat out Wednesday and Thursday with a sore groin before taking part
in a portion of Friday's session. Head coach Gary Kubiak said the seventh-year
veteran will be a game-time decision for the AFC South leader's Week 7 clash
with the AFC North front-running Ravens.
"Johnathan did practice today on a limited basis," said Kubiak. "It was very
positive. I think we're heading in the right direction, but the decision will
be made on Sunday morning."
Twelve Houston players were listed as probable for the game, including nose
tackle Shaun Cody (back), linebacker Bradie James (calf), right guard Antoine
Caldwell (concussion) and running back Ben Tate (toe).
Safety Quintin Demps, recovering from fractures to both his left forearm and
right thumb, is considered questionable.
