After a practice injury forced him to sit out last week’s win in Jacksonville, Texans cornerback A.J. Bouye told reporters he’ll be ready to play Monday night when the Texans play the Raiders in Mexico City.

Bouye sprained his ankle in practice last Friday. The Texans want all hands on deck against a Raiders team that has what Bouye called “the best tandem” of receivers in the NFL in Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper.

Bouye, a fourth-player, has become a starter and full-time contributor with the Texans. He’s started four games this season, half as many as he started in his first three seasons combined. Bouye had his first career sack earlier this season and has five career interceptions.
