Expected to return Week 10 Coach Romeo Crennel said Roby likely will play in the Week 10 matchup against the Browns, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact Roby didn't suit up in Sunday's win over the Jaguars due to disciplinary reasons, but it appears that will be the extent of his punishment. Houston's secondary was clearly out of sorts Sunday, allowing rookie quarterback Jake Luton to throw for 304 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception in his NFL debut. Roby should be a boost, as he's yielded just 5.0 yards per target this season.

Won't play against Jaguars Roby (undisclosed) didn't travel with the team and won't play in Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This isn't related to an injury or COVID-19, but the team didn't reveal any further details about why Roby won't play against the divisional opponent.

The team likely will clarify Roby's situation in the upcoming week.
