Texans cornerback Bradley Roby will face his former team — and former teammate Chris Harris — when Houston hosts the Broncos on Sunday. While they are opponents on the field, Harris and Roby remain friends off the field.
Harris said he has taken Roby under his wing and worked out with him during the offseason. Roby has missed five games with injuries this season but he returned to action last week and he intercepted quarterback Tom Brady in Houston’s 28-22 win over the Patriots.
“He was having a great season before he got hurt,” Harris said Tuesday. “Unfortunately, I think he missed a month of football. He came back last week and had a great game.
“My trainer has been down there every week getting with him and making sure he’s getting healthy and ready to go. They made sure Roby was ready.”
Harris said he believes Sunday’s game will be personal for Roby.
“I know ‘Rob’ is going to come up and try and show that we should have kept him,” Harris said.
Denver opted not to re-sign Roby earlier this year and he received a one-year, $10 million contract from the Texans. The 27-year-old cornerback has totaled 28 tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble this season.
