Texans RBs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. Neither looks likely to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend.

Akers got game-scripted out of touches in last week's loss to the Vikings but is likely to handle more work on Sunday with his Texans 6.5-point favorites.
