The Texans saw the return of defensive end Will Anderson (hand) to practice Monday.
Anderson was estimated as a non-participant Sunday after his injury in Saturday's loss to the Chiefs.
The Texans also upgraded linebacker Christian Harris (ankle), wide receiver John Metchie III (shoulder) and tight end Cade Stover (illness). All three had full participation after being estimated as limited Sunday.
Defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi (foot), offensive guard Shaq Mason (knee), and offensive guard Juice Scruggs (foot) remained out, a likely indication that they will not play Christmas Day.
Defensive end Denico Autry (knee) remained limited, and guard Nick Broeker (hand) again was listed as a full participant.
