McCourty (hamstring) plans to play Sunday against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of titansonline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite injuring his hamstring during Sunday's loss to the Falcons, McCourty is optimistic about his Week 8 status. He has been a bit injury-plagued this season, having missed the first four games of the season with a groin injury. Barring any setbacks throughout the week, the Titans' secondary will have one of their key cornerbacks on the field in McCourty.
