Darryl Sharpton Close To Return

The Texans ran through a light workout Wednesday. But it was another day of practice for Darryl Sharpton, and coach Gary Kubiak said the fourth-year linebacker could be cleared to return Sunday against the Tennessee Titans if he runs through a successful session Thursday.

Sharpton is toward the end of the NFL’s concussion protocol. He didn’t travel with the team to San Diego for a Week 1 road-opener.

“He did take a step forward,” Kubiak said. “So practicing is another step in the protocol. He puts his pads on (Thursday). … That’s the last step. So he could be cleared as of (Thursday).”
