San Diego Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin will return to the lineup Sunday against the Houston Texans after sitting out one game with a knee injury.

Benjamin missed San Diego's Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins before having the benefit of a bye week to get some additional rest.

His return has the potential to be a major boost for the offense down the stretch, as the offseason free-agent addition has quietly carved out a role as one of the unit's most reliable pass-catchers.

Benjamin enters play this week having racked up 39 receptions for 514 yards and three touchdowns across nine total games and just five starts.
