Chris Brown is expected to start in Slaton's place.
Wide receiver Jacoby Jones and cornerback Glover Quin (concussion) also are among Houston's inactives. Left tackle Duane Brown (knee) is active and in the starting lineup.
Cornerback Rashean Mathis (groin), safety Sean Considine (concussion) and defensive end Julius Williams (knee) are inactive for the Jaguars.
