When Texans cornerback Bradley Roby strained his hamstring against the Kansas City Chiefs, he knew it was serious immediately.
The Grade 2 strain wound up costing the former Denver Broncos first-round draft pick five games. Roby said this week that a setback could have sidelined him for the remainder of the season, so he had to proceed cautiously.
Roby made an impact Sunday night in his first game back in the starting lineup. He intercepted New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, jamming 6-4, 225-pound rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry and aggressively positioning himself to undercut the throw.
