Linebacker Christian Harris was among the Houston Texans’ most anticipated rookie prospects heading into this season, but injuries have de-railed what looked to be a promising first year for him to this point. He missed the early part of the team’s schedule due to an issue with his hamstring, and after making waves in his first games after his debut in October, was pulled from the Texans’ Week 12 tilt with a shoulder injury.
Head coach Lovie Smith addressed his status on Wednesday at Houston’s press conference after practice and told reporters that he is optimistic about Harris’ trajectory heading into the team’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
