Texans outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney and rookie center Nick Martin returned to practice Tuesday morning.
Clowney was sidelined for an entire week with knee soreness, missing the preseason opener. He displayed no ill effects from the injury Tuesday, with normal mobility. Clowney has a history of knee problems, undergoing microfracture knee surgery and lateral meniscus surgery as a rookie.
Martin, a projected starter and second-round draft pick from Notre Dame, also missed the entire week and the game with a tight back.
Backup cornerback A.J. Bouye returned to practice after a magnetic resonance imaging exam revealed no tears to his groin.
