Jaguars.com suggests CB Alan Ball is heading into OTAs as a starter.

Ball, 28, signed a two-year, $2 million contract in the opening week of free agency, and he has the ability to play both corner and safety. He also has the size -- 6-foot-2, 197 -- that coach Gus Bradley likes. Two of Ball, third-rounder Dwayne Gratz, and 2012 sixth-rounder Mike Harris will likely start on the outside with veteran Marcus Trufant covering the slot.

Texans CB Alan Ball (foot) did not practice Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday Night Football.

Ball saw extensive playing time last week with Jonathan Joseph (hamstring, groin) sidelined, but has been primarily limited to sub-packages with the Texans this season. He won't be needed this week with Joseph expected to return. Brandon Harris or newly signed CB Stanford Routt will handle nickel duties if Ball is ruled out. Brice McCain (broken foot) is on injured reserve.
