The Indianapolis Colts listed wide receiver T.Y. Hilton as active for their Thursday night tilt against the Houston Texans.

Hilton missed the team's last three games with a calf injury suffered in practice.

Despite his absence, the four-time Pro Bowler leads the Colts with 32 catches and five touchdowns this season. Indianapolis has gone 1-7 in games without its top wideout since he entered the league in 2012.

Hilton's return provides a significant boost for Frank Reich's offense, and gives quarterback Jacoby Brissett a much-needed weapon in a pivotal AFC South matchup.

Tight end Eric Ebron is also active after battling an ankle injury on a short week.
