Texans safety Justin Reid has gritted through painful shoulder and wrist injuries all year.
As recognition for his toughness, the second-year player from Stanford has been named the Texans' annual Ed Block Courage Award winner.
Reid has been extremely durable despite his injuries, missing just one game since being selected in the third round last year.
“I feel blessed and honored to be voted the winner of the Ed Block Courage Award, especially since it’s voted on purely by my teammates,” Reid said. “It means a lot to be able to represent them and the Houston Texans organization with this honor.
