INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts (6-4) on Thursday night travel to take on the Houston Texans (6-4) in their 2019 Week 12 matchup at NRG Stadium — and, accordingly, it's time to look at the team's unofficial depth chart for the game.
Here is a position-by-position look for the Texans matchup, with some notes for each unit:
OFFENSE
— WR: T.Y. Hilton, Parris Campbell, Marcus Johnson
— LT: Anthony Castonzo, Le'Raven Clark
— LG: Quenton Nelson, Joe Haeg
— C: Ryan Kelly, Josh Andrews
— RG: Mark Glowinski, Joe Haeg

— WR: Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers, Ashton Dulin
— QB: Jacoby Brissett, Brian Hoyer, Chad Kelly
— TE: Eric Ebron
— RB: Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Jonathan Williams
Notes:
» No differences this week compared to last week.
» With Jordan Wilkins inactive due to an ankle injury, Jonathan Williams saw a big boost in snaps in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars — which increased even more when starter Marlon Mack exited the game with a hand injury. Williams played a career-high 31 snaps, and finished with a career-best 116 yards rushing on the day.
» At wide receiver, with T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell out a second straight week, Zach Pascal (66 snaps) and Marcus Johnson (63 snaps) got a majority of the action out wide. Chester Rogers (32 snaps) and Ashton Dulin (one snap) rounded out the players at the position.
