For the first time since rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee aggravated his hamstring injury against the Tennessee Titans, he was a full participant in practice.

The Texans held a walkthrough practice, so the designation is an estimate if they had conducted a full practice.

It's still a positive sign for Coutee, who has missed the past five games with his third hamstring injury of the season. The Texans hope he'll be able to return for a Saturday playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.

“Definitely, I think he’s trending that way," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said of Coutee's chances of returning Saturday. "I think there’s a shot. We have to see how he looks in practice on a day-to-day basis, but there’s a shot there.”
