Rapoport: Jonathan Williams starting for Colts on Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Williams will be the team's starter Thursday night against the Houston Texans, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

What It Means:

After entering the game with 94 career rushing yards over three NFL seasons, Williams broke out for 117 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries last week. He will lead the way again in Thursday's divisional bout, with Jordan Wilkins also likely factoring in on some early downs. Nyheim Hines will handle passing-down work.

The Texans are 13th in the NFL against the rush (101.3 yards per game).
