Texans will be playing the Patriots without their top cornerback

The Houston Texans defensive front seven is full of talent, with J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, and Whitney Mercilus all capable of taking over the game and ruining Tom Brady’s day. But if the New England Patriots can give Brady a couple seconds in the pocket, then look for the Patriots offense to take advantage of the Texans secondary that will be without their top cornerback.

Texans CB Kevin Johnson will miss the game after spraining his MCL, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Texans CB Kevin Johnson suffered a sprained MCL and is expected to miss four to six weeks, pending further testing, per source.
