Texans offensive lineman Greg Mancz is preparing to start his second consecutive game Thursday night.
Mancz stepped in at right guard against the Jacksonville Jaguars and delivered some strong blocks in the running game, including a clear-out push on a 5-yard Lamar Miller touchdown run.
Starting right guard Zach Fulton remains sidelined with an ankle injury and is expected to miss at least Thursday's game against the Dolphins after being out last Sunday.
