Minicamp LB Updates, incl. LB Xavier Adibi - Hamstring Injury

[Keith]

Nothing serious for Adbibi I don't think... aside from the missed practice time.

From Kubiak after Saturday's session:

(on LB Xavier Adibi’s hamstring injury) “It’s not going to set him back drastically far, but it is a setback because all of a sudden there’s going to be guys that have about 200 reps under their belts before we get through this weekend, and he’s just watching. That’s part of it, but it’s nothing bad. So we expect him to go on the 19th (of May).”

(on the Texans’ linebacker corps) “I really think that’s a place where our football team can improve drastically. I know that sounds funny, but what I’m heading to is DeMeco (Ryans) and Morlon (Greenwood) have played a lot of football. They’ve been on the field every snap for this team for two years. They need some help. We’ve got some good guys out there battling for a job. You start with Zac (Diles). I really wish I would have played Zac late in the year last year and got a lot of reps under his belt. He’s battling for a job. With (Kevin) Bentley, (Chaun) Thompson, (Xavier) Adibi coming in, we need to get better as a group in there. We know who our two rocks are. They’ve been playing a lot for us. They need some help, so hopefully these young kids come along and play well.”
