The Texans made an injury-related roster move Saturday, promoting running back Akeem Hunt from the practice squad to the active roster.

Hunt’s promotion came as the team announced that running back Jonathan Grimes would not make the trip to Jacksonville due to an illness. Grimes had been listed as questionable on the Friday injury report.

The Texans still list wide receiver Will Fuller, nose tackle Vince Wilfork, linebacker Brian Peters and cornerback A.J. Bouye as questionable.

Safety Lonnie Ballentine was placed on the injured-reserve list, creating a roster spot for Hunt.
