Texans backup defensive tackle Ross Blacklock is returning to practice from the reserve-COVID-19 list after missing the past three games with the illness.
"Ross is back," Texans coach David Culley said Wednesday.
Blacklock tested positive for COVID prior to a road game against the Buffalo Bills.
A second-round draft pick from Texas Christian University last year, Blacklock had a sack and forced fumble against the Carolina Panthers.
The Missouri City native and Elkins graduate has five tackles and two quarterback hits in three games played this season.
