DeAndre Hopkins Has Passed Concussion Protcol, Will Play Against Buccaneers Today

Although he suffered a concussion last week, the Houston Texans will have their best wide receiver when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today.

Less than a week after he first reported symptoms of a concussion presumably suffered against the Panthers, DeAndre Hopkins will play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this afternoon.

As expected WR DeAndre Hopkins will play for Texans. He passed concussion protocol and was probable.

Although things seemed to be trending this way based upon what Bill O'Brien said earlier this week and Hopkins' return to practice on Friday, there has to be a profound sense of relief at NRG Park this morning.
