INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts will have one starter back and possibly two other ones for their game against the Houston Texans.

Coach Chuck Pagano said that cornerback Greg Toler has been cleared to return to action after being out since Aug. 22 with a neck injury. Tight end Dwayne Allen, out the past two games with an ankle injury, is optimistic that he'll play Thursday and the Colts are hoping that quarterback Andrew Luck will also return after missing Sunday's game with a right shoulder injury.

As far as other starters go, cornerback Vontae Davis (foot), running back Frank Gore (foot), defensive tackle Henry Anderson (foot), defensive end Kendall Langford (back) and linebacker Jerrell Freeman (groin) are being called day-to-day.

The same can't be said about cornerback Jalil Brown (groin) and linebacker Bjoern Werner (hamstring). Pagano referred to those two players as being week-to-week, which means it won't surprising if they miss a few games.
