Justin Reid, Lonnie Johnson, Bradley Roby return to Texans practice

Injured cornerbacks Bradley Roby and Lonnie Johnson returned to practice for the Houston Texans on Monday.

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.

Texans-Colts Wednesday injury report: Justin Reid, Lonnie Johnson out

The Houston Texans announced their final injury report for Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, with notable names being out.

Typically, Wednesday’s are the first day of injury reports. However, with the Houston Texans hosting the Indianapolis Colts on “Thursday Night Football,” it is the last, which depicts who will and won’t play on the primetime, short-week game.

The Texans ruled out three defenders; safety Justin Reid (concussion/shoulder), safety Mike Adams (concussion) and cornerback Lonnie Johnson (ankle). Each suffered their respective injuries in Week 11’s blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (ankle), tight end Mo-Allie Cox (thumb), tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) and wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) are all questionable to play in the divisional contest.

Texans vs. Colts: Time, TV schedule and streaming info for Week 12

The Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts square off for a Week 12 encounter on Thursday Night Football. Find out how to watch the game.

The Houston Texans can quickly get the taste of Week 11’s 41-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens out of their mouths as they host the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football to kickoff Week 12.

One of the perils of facing the Colts on such a short week is the lack of prep time that comes with a Thursday night game, and the fact it is a very consequential matchup as the Texans have to prevent being swept by the Colts. Indianapolis currently holds the tiebreaker over Houston with a 30-23 win in Week 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium. A win would propel the Colts to 7-4 and drop the Texans to 6-5, almost a two-game swing because of the tiebreaker the Colts would have over the Texans.

Houston may be without safety Justin Reid due to a concussion, but they will have quarterback Deshaun Watson, who suffered an ankle injury in the loss at the Ravens. However, Reid has appeared as not having participated in practice the past two days while Watson has been a full participant.

The Colts are in a similar boat and may be without the services of running back Marlon Mack, who had a hand procedure on Monday to fix his fractured hand. Even on a regular week, it would be iffy to overcome that. On a Thursday night week, it is almost impossible.

Texans-Colts Tuesday injury report: No change with Justin Reid and his concussion

The Houston Texans released their Tuesday injury report ahead of their game with the Indianapolis Colts, and safety Justin Reid did not participate.

The Houston Texans released their Tuesday injury report ahead of their Week 12 Thursday night encounter with the Indianapolis Colts.

While the Texans didn’t have practice officially, they did release an injury report with an estimation of what participation would have been like. For the second consecutive day, safety Justin Reid was listed as not being a participant as he is in the concussion protocol along with fellow safety Mike Adams. As such, it looks like a long shot the defensive backs will be able to play against the Colts.

Texans S Justin Reid not expected to play against the Colts

Houston Texans safety Justin Reid is not expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts with a concussion. Mike Adams is also not expected to play.

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.

Texans safety Justin Reid will not return against the Ravens

Houston Texans safety Justin Reid is out against the Baltimore Ravens and will not return for the fourth quarter.

The Houston Texans declared safety Justin Reid out and will not let him return against the Baltimore Ravens. The second-year safety left the game with a shoulder injury.

Houston trails 27-0 to start the fourth quarter.

For Houston, they have to make considerations as to whether or not they want to let Reid and other injured secondary players, such as cornerback Lonnie Johnson, return to the game when they have to face the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night at NRG Stadium.

Reid played all 16 games last season, but had wrist surgery in the offseason.

Reid finished the game with three combined tackles.

Texans must tighten up their tackling against the Ravens

To beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the Houston Texans will need to have sound tackling from the defense, according to Bill O’Brien.

If the Baltimore Ravens can make someone slip, they will. Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown, Mark Ingram, Willie Snead and Mark Andrews have torched defenses all season long with the ball in their hands.

On Sunday, Nov. 17, the Houston Texans will witness the slippery Ravens as they face them in Maryland at noon CT. The NFL’s top-ranked rush-offense (197.2 yards per game), Baltimore is capable of giving the Texans problems. Houston can negate that with sound-tackling and clean play.

“If you look at the games, whether it was the NFL or college, I do think that these games are coming down to mistakes – turnovers, bad tackling, penalties,” said coach Bill O’Brien on Monday.

The Texans are eighth in the NFL in missed tackles (68), as of Nov. 9, per Pro Football Reference. They have allowed the NFL’s most yards after the catch (1,205). That has to change against the Ravens.

O’Brien has three names in mind who will help the Texans’ tackling woes: Safety Justin Reid and inside linebackers Benardrick McKinney and Zach Cunningham.

“So, I think any time you have guys that can tackle, which Justin (Reid) can do. We have guys that can tackle – (Benardrick) McKinney and Zach (Cunningham) and all the other guys out there,” said O’Brien. “We feel like we have a pretty good tackling team. I think that’s important, especially against a team like this.”

Reid, McKinney, and Cunningham have combined for 176 total tackles to 19 missed tackles on the year. They are not the problem. However, they also aren’t the entire solution for containing the Ravens’ defense. The three are second-level defenders.

To truly contain the electric Ravens’ offense, Houston must play with sound gap-control upfront while simultaneously setting the edge consistently. It won’t be easy without J.J. Watt.

However, that’s football. Adapt and survive or perish; it’s as simple as that.
