HOUSTON (SportsRadio 610) -- Texans outside linebacker Brennan Scarlett is among the seven inactive players in Sunday night's game against the New England Patriots. 

Jacob Martin is expected to step in his place.

Scarlett is third on the team in sacks with 3.5 and was responsible for a key fourth down stop to seal a win against the Colts in Houston's last game. 

Scarlett had been limited in practice last week with a shoulder injury. He was ruled out by the Texans on Sunday. 

Also inactive among Texans players are wide receivers Keke Coutee and Steven Mitchell Jr.; cornerbacks Gareon Conley and Cornell Armstrong; and defensive ends Carlos Watkins and Angelo Blackson.
