Two starters for the Houston Texans won't be suiting up in Week 6 when the Texans travel to London to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Pro Bowl running back David Montgomery and safety Jalen Pitre will not play in Sunday’s game after leaving during last week's 26-3 win over the Tennessee Titans
. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans previously said on Wednesday that both players were considered week-to-week.Neither was seen during drills on Wednesday or Thursday's open media session.
In place of Pitre, rookie Kamari Ramsey is expected to see action in the nickel spot. The USC rookie played against the Titans in the slot after previously being used as the extra defensive back in dime packages for six defensive back sets.

In place of Montgomery, Woody Marks is expected to see the bulk of carries. Over the past two weeks, he was splitting reps with Montgomery nearly 50/50 before the former went down with a groin injury.
Last week, after taking the place of Montgomery on the Titans, Marks finished with 62 rushing yards on 16 carries. Right now, the Texans are expected to elevate Jawhar Jordan as the No. 2 back.
“He doesn't say a whole lot,” offensive coordinator Nick Caley said of Jordan on Thursday. “He's businesslike. Just a great dude who loves football and has a spark to him. I'm excited for opportunities whenever he gets those opportunities and I know he'll be looking forward to it as well."
Kickoff is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. on NFL Network.
