Texans RB Joe Mixon is "fully healthy" for Week 1, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Mixon missed some time in August and didn't play in the preseason due to a quad injury. But he's been back on the field for a couple of weeks now and will be ready for a full workload on Sunday vs. the Colts.

Texans second-year Edge Will Anderson Jr. might be iffy for Week 1. Anderson hasn't practiced since the week of the Hall of Fame game, which opened the preseason on Aug. 1. HC Demeco Ryans reportedly gave no specific info on Anderson's outlook after Monday's closed walkthrough.

Colts K Matt Gay is dealing with a groin injury and is iffy for Sunday's opener vs. the Texans, HC Shane Steichen said. This doesn't sound like a long-term injury.

That makes this an evolving situation, with no certainty he'll be ready to return after Week 4.
