Houston Texans wide receiver Jacoby Jones practiced in full Friday and appears ready to start Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders.
Jones, who has been hindered by a knee injury in practice this week, is expected to start in place of star wideout Andre Johnson.
Johnson is expected to miss at least three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.
Jones has seven receptions for 91 yards this season. He had a career-high 51 receptions last season.
