Veteran cornerback Kayvon Webster has been designated to return from the Texans' injured reserve list.
The Texans launched a 21-day practice window to either activate him from injured reserve or have him miss the remainder of the season.
Webster injured his quadriceps during his only game for the Texans this season, getting hurt against the Dallas Cowboys.
