Justin Reid’s encouraging second season is expected to take a halt on Thursday night. The Houston Texans starting safety is not expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts, as he deals with a concussion,
Fellow safety Mike Adams will likely join Reid in not playing, as he too is nursing a concussion. Coach Bill O’Brien stated on Tuesday that any player dealing with a concussion is unlikely to be out of concussion protocol by Thursday’s divisional tilt. Therefore, both are not expected to play.
Reid is also dealing with a shoulder injury. He sustained both injuries in Sunday’s blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Adams suffered his concussion before the game.
In 10 starts in 2019, Reid has recorded 54 combined tackles, two pass deflections and an interception. Adams has played limited snaps as a backup.
With both Reid and Adams expected to miss the bout, the Texans will roll with Tashaun Gipson, Jahleel Addae and A.J. Moore at safety.
