Colts Star TY Hilton Expected to Play Thursday Against the Texans
By Ian Anderson
After a long absence due to injury, Indianapolis Colts No. 1 wide receiver TY Hilton is anticipating a return against the Houston Texans in a matchup that could decide who wins the AFC South.
Hilton is expected to play after missing the past three games with a calf injury, which could prove to be a huge boost for the Colts.

The Pro Bowl receiver has been a thorn in Houston's side, averaging almost six catches and over 100 yards-per-game in 15 career matchups against his AFC South foe.
Hilton looks to spark a Colts offense that is among the five worst passing attacks in the NFL. The porous Texans defense, meanwhile, just conceded 41 points to the Baltimore Ravens. Jacoby Brissett is licking his chops.

If T.Y. does play Thursday night, the Texans can only hope to control how much damage he does, as removing him from the game entirely seems to be out of the equation.
