Weeks injured his ankle in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but remained in game while limping and unable to run and cover punts.
The Texans tried out three long snappers Tuesday, but signed none because Weeks is expected to play.
"Trending in the right direction," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said.
Meanwhile, Texans corner Johnathan Joseph (shoulder) and safety Tashaun Gipson (back, hip) are practicing after not finishing the Colts game.
