Joe Mixon & Dameon Pierce Still Out Thursday

Texans RBs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. Neither looks likely to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend. That will again leave Cam Akers as the primary early-down back, with RB Dare Ogunbowale handling passing downs. Akers got game-scripted out of touches in last week's loss to the Vikings but is likely to handle more work on Sunday with his Texans 6.5-point favorites.
