David Irving and Randy Gregory were not at practice Thursday, but both are expected to play against Houston this weekend.
Irving did not take part in Thursday's practice, but owner Jerry Jones said he expects the defensive tackle to play against the Texans. Gregory missed Thursday's practice as part of a mandated session to fulfill the requirements of his treatment plan. He was scheduled to return from Chicago and be at The Star late Thursday afternoon or early evening, a source said, and should be ready to practice on Friday as he prepares to play Sunday.
Irving returned from a four-game suspension earlier this week and went through his first full practice with the club in nearly 11 months.
