Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins practiced Friday after being listed on the injury report with a foot injury.
Texans coach Bill O'Brien had previously predicted that Hopkins would play Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Hopkins leads the team with 62 catches for 879 yards and nine touchdowns.
Meanwhile, cornerback Kevin Johnson returned to practice from a concussion sustained Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Johnson remains under the NFL concussion protocol, but is progressing well and is considered to be on track to play Monday against his hometown Ravens.
"It's encouraging, no doubt," said Texans coach Bill O'Brien, who added that Johnson is trending toward being able to play.
Texans wide receiver Will Fuller is still sidelined with cracked ribs and isn't expected to play Monday.
