The Houston Texans’ best cornerback has not played a snap since Week 6’s 31-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Bradley Roby, who suffered a strained hamstring in the victory, has sat out numerous weeks to make his highly-anticipated recovery.
That recovery could come on Sunday, against Tom Brady and the vaunted New England Patriots. On Wednesday, coach Bill O’Brien indicated that he, along with others, are trending in the right direction for Sunday.
“I think that there is a lot of guys probably trending in the right direction,” O’Brien told reporters Wednesday. “I think today and tomorrow is probably a big day for that. We’ll see how those two days go, but yea, I think there is a lot of guys trending in the right direction.”
Roby split time between the slot and boundary before suffering the injury. According to Pro Football Reference, he allowed an 88.3 passer rating in coverage prior to sustaining the injury.
On Wednesday’s injury report, Roby was listed as limited.
