Report: Broncos OLB Von Miller to play against the Texans

The Houston Texans offensive line may have a big challenge on their hands Sunday at noon CT when they face the Denver Broncos at NRG Stadium.

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, All-Pro edge defender Von Miller is expected to face the 8-4 first place team in the AFC South when the two sides meet.

Broncos’ LB Von Miller, listed as questionable for Sunday with a knee injury, is expected to play against the Texans, per source.

If Miller does play, regardless of the Broncos’ 4-8 record, he will present a tremendous threat on the edge and the offensive line will have to key on him to keep quarterback Deshaun Watson upright.

The Super Bowl 50 MVP has had a down season with just 6.0 sacks through 11 games. However, any time that the 2011 second overall pick is on the field, he has to be accounted for, and Watson will have to know where he is and anticipate his presence.

Entering Sunday, Watson is tied with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson for the fifth-most sacks in the NFL with 35.
