Houston Texans: Cornerback Aaron Glenn is expected to play against Indianapolis Colts on Sunday after missing two games with a strained groin.

"He has had an excellent week of practice," coach Dom Capers said Friday. "I feel very good about him being a full go Sunday."

Defensive tackle Gary Walker missed his third day of drills with a toe injury and will decide Sunday if he can play.

Also, Capers said outside linebacker Charlie Clemons, who has a sprained left ankle, also would be a game-day decision.

Defensive back Jason Bell probably won't play because of a bruised leg.

Minnesota Vikings: Running back John Avery was placed on injured reserve and wide receiver Nick Davis was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Friday.

Avery has a knee injury that coach Mike Tice called a chondral defect. He struggled as the Vikings' kick returner and lost that job to running back Doug Chapman this week.

Davis recently returned to practice after recovering from shoulder surgery in June. Tice said Davis had a chance to return kickoffs Sunday against the New York Giants.

In other injury news, wide receiver D'Wayne Bates was downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game with a strained hamstring.

Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys are moving their training camp from San Antonio to Oxnard, Calif.

The team said Friday it has signed a two-year contract with an option for a third year at the Marriott Residence Inn in Oxnard, about 60 miles from Los Angeles.

The team said financial and scheduling conflicts forced the Cowboys to look elsewhere. A convention was scheduled at the Alamodome during the same time the Cowboys were to train in San Antonio next summer.

The Cowboys have held camp in San Antonio's Alamodome the past two years, after holding camp in Austin and Wichita Falls. From 1963-89, the Cowboys trained at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

In 2001, the Cowboys spent the second part of camp at Oxnard after practicing three weeks in Wichita Falls.
