The Texans expect Lamar Miller back in the starting lineup for Sunday's regular season finale against Jacksonville. Head coach Bill O'Brien said the starting back was "good to go" after being a full participant in practice on Thursday.

Miller, who missed the Texans' Week 16 game at Philadelphia, has been dealing with an ankle injury from Week 15 against the New York Jets. This season, Miller has rushed for 917 yards on 193 carries (4.8 average) and caught 23 passes for 163 yards receiving. He ranks fifth in the AFC in rushing yards and carries despite missing two games this season.

The Texans have clinched a playoff spot, but can still win an AFC South division title with a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kickoff is set for Sunday at 12 noon on CBS and SportsRadio 610.
