Starting role on tap Owens is expected to make his first NFL start at safety in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports. Impact Over his four games with Houston this season, Owens has played more snaps on special teams (64) than defense (34), but he'll likely be thrust into a full-time role in the secondary Sunday with three of the team's top four safeties -- Justin Reid (concussion), Terrence Brooks (reserve/COVID-19 list) and A.J. Moore (reserve/COVID-19 list) -- all sidelined. Owens will start alongside Eric Murray.
