Texans RB Duke Johnson (hamstring) back at practice

Texans running back Duke Johnson is practicing for first time after dealing with hamstring injury before and after trade.

As John Paulsen recently said about Johnson in his draft guide:

Duke Johnson has three-down ability but has never been used that way. He’s been traded to a team with a vulnerable starter and could have a weekly role worthy of flex consideration. He might post RB1 numbers if anything were to happen to Miller. (Keeper league owners, heads up: Lamar Miller is a free agent next year, so it’s possible that the Texans go into 2020 with Johnson as their RB1.)
