Texans wide receiver Sammie Coates is making a speedy recovery from a concussion.
Coates left the game Saturday night against the San Francisco 49ers and was placed in the mandatory NFL concussion protocol.
Coates returned to practice Wednesday. Under NFL guidelines governing concussions, Coates has to pass a baseline neurological exam and practice for one day and remain free of symptoms to be cleared from the protocol.
Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson hasn't returned to practice since sustaining a concussion against the 49ers. Johnson is also feeling better since his head injury, according to coach Bill O'Brien.
