Three former Cougars return to TDECU as Patriots

The New England Patriots will practice at TDECU Stadium in preparation for the Feb. 5 Super Bowl 51 game, according to Houston Chronicle reporter Joseph Duarte, who tweeted the news Sunday night.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons will practice at Rice University, where the football field flooded during Wednesday’s flash flooding.

Patriots linebacker Elandon Roberts is returning to the University of Houston, where he played for three seasons. In 2015, he was one of the Cougars’ team captains and started in all 14 games.

That year he also led the nation with 88 solo tackles and led the American Athletic Conference with 142 total tackles.
