HOUSTON -- Top 49ers free-agent acquisition Brandon Jones is among the players inactive for San Francisco against the Texans in Week 7.

Fellow receivers Jason Hill and Micheal Spurlock are also on the inactive list.

It is Michael Crabtree's time, in other words. Crabtree, Isaac Bruce, Josh Morgan and Arnaz Battle are the receivers for the 49ers.

Also inactive for the 49ers: offensive lineman Cody Wallace, defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois, safety Reggie Smith, safety Michael Lewis and quarterback Nate Davis, who did not make the trip.

Inactive for the Texans: safety Nick Ferguson, receiver Glenn Martinez, cornerback Fred Bennett, linebacker Jamie Winborn, guard Tutan Reyes, tight end Anthony Hill and defensive tackle Frank Okam. Dan Orlovsky is the third quarterback.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Texans are keeping five defensive ends and nine defensive backs active against the Cardinals, presumably because they expect Arizona to pass the ball frequently.

It's a logical move given the Cardinals' known style and one more reason Arizona should try to get Beanie Wells going on the ground.

Houston named defensive tackles DelJuan Robinson and Frank Okam among its inactive players. Also inactive: Glenn Martinez, Nick Ferguson, Antwaun Molden, Antoine Caldwell and Anthony Hill. Dan Orlovsky is the third quarterback.
