The Houston Texans may have their complete secondary for their challenging Week 13 tilt with the New England Patriots. On Monday, safety Justin Reid and cornerbacks Lonnie Johnson and Bradley Roby returned to practice, per the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson.
Reid suffered a concussion and shoulder injury in Week 11’s 41-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was not cleared from the concussion protocol in time to make Houston’s 20-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
If Reid plays on Sunday, he will insert as the Texans’ starting free safety, where he has played since joining the starting lineup in 2018.
Like Reid, Johnson sustained an injury against the Ravens. His foot injury caused him to miss Thursday night’s tilt with Indy. A second-round pick out of Kentucky, he started over Johnathan Joseph while Roby missed time.
Roby has not played since Week 6’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs, in which he suffered a hamstring injury. He has been questionable since and was a game-time decision for Thursday’s win. If he is playing, he will likely insert as a starter, either in the slot or outside.
