Former Patriots defensive end Chase Winovich returned to Gillette Stadium on Thursday as a member of the Texans.
The 28-year-old pass rusher enjoyed his return, recording two tackles and a pair of quarterback hits as Houston won 20-9. The exclamation point on his night was getting a sack.
Though he was traded from the Patriots in 2022, the 2019 New England third-round pick relished the experience.
“It was very cool being back here,” Winovich told reporters. “It was very nostalgic, just the bus ride coming up from Providence getting closer and seeing a lot of these sites that were super familiar to me.
