The Texans have played 13 games this season. Wide receiver DeVier Posey has been inactive 13 times. Game No. 14 could be the breakthrough for Posey, who will likely be in uniform if veteran receiver Andre Johnson is inactive Sunday at Indianapolis.

“Posey would have a chance to be up,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said Wednesday at NRG Stadium. “That hasn’t changed. I think that guy has worked hard. For various reasons — really not his fault — he just hasn’t fit in with the gameday roster to this point. I think he has a chance to fit in on Sunday.”

Posey was the No. 68 overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft and showed potential during his rookie season, which ended with a torn Achilles tendon during a playoff loss at New England. The former Ohio State standout has 21 catches for 242 yards in three seasons but hasn’t taken the field for O’Brien’s team in 2014.

“I’m sure like any player he wants to play. I’m sure he’s frustrated,” O’Brien said. “He’s been frustrated. But I’ll tell you this guy has really gone out there, worked hard at his game — he’s tried to do the things that we’re coaching him to do. … Hopefully he gets an opportunity.”
