Christian Harris is the fastest linebacker on the Texans’ roster, and the rookie is starting to play up to his timed speed with more decisive actions and less hesitation. AaronWilson_NFL
Harris’ instincts have kicked in following a slow start after beginning the season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
“As we go forward, he’s making more and more of the plays that we expect him to make,” Texans linebackers coach Miles Smith said. “Occasionally, there are plays that he’s making that other linebackers probably wouldn’t be able to make, just based upon his elite athleticism. As we keep going, we expect him to make more and more of the plays, and truly show the level he can play at.
“Obviously, he’s in a yellow jersey right now, never good,” Smith said. “Avoiding contact a little bit. Unfortunately that he was missing that valuable game time in the last game. He’s progressing day by day. We’ll see how it goes this weekend if he’s going to be able to go, but I hope so.” The Texans’ last-ranked run defense faces a difficult challenge Sunday against Browns star running back Nick Chubb.
