Roberts is signing a two-year contract with the Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The contract reportedly is worth up to $5.95 million, though some of that may be in unlikely-to-be-earned incentives. Roberts primarily has served as a return specialist throughout the second half of his career, reaching the Pro Bowl three straight seasons from 2018 to 2020. It's an odd luxury signing for a team that otherwise seems to be rebuilding, unless the team for some reason thinks Roberts can reemerge as a receiving threat in his age-33 campaign.

Roberts (back) practiced fully Saturday after being limited in this week's other practice and does not have an injury designation for Monday's game at New England.
EDGE Analysis
The elite return man will resume his normal kickoff and punt return duties in the Monday Night Football matchup. Roberts leads the NFL by a good margin with 1,173 total return yards this season.

Roberts, who exited the Week 15 win over the Broncos with a back injury, was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts has proven time after time that he's one of the league's best return men, so the Bills would love to have him back as close to full health as possible as they try to sweep the season series against the Patriots on Monday for the first time since 1999.

Roberts (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts upgraded to a full practice Friday after a pair of limited sessions, clearing him to suit up. He has just two catches this season, but Roberts' value comes primarily as a return man on special teams, as he's earned Pro Bowl honors in that role in each of the previous two campaigns.

Roberts was limited for the second consecutive day Thursday due to an Achilles injury.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Sean McDermott tends to take it easy on his veterans, especially this time of year, so while Roberts' injury is something to keep an eye on, we're optimistic about him playing in such a big upcoming matchup this week when the Bills take on the Steelers.

Roberts (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first mention of an Achilles injury for Roberts. The veteran return specialist's practice participation will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's high-profile matchup with the Steelers, but there's little to suggest that his status for the game is in danger at this point.

Roberts returned four kickoffs for 111 yards and three punts for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
The game got fairly close in the second half, so Roberts' return yardage became a big difference maker in the contest. While he barely contributes on offense -- he has just two catches on three targets all season -- Roberts leads the league with 909 return yards and is about as good as it gets if your league uses those categories. Roberts led the league in 2018 with 1,498 total return yards and was second in 2019 with 887.

Roberts (ankle) is active for Tuesday's game versus the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts was limited during Saturday's session and has proven he's healthy enough to play in the rare Tuesday outing. The veteran receiver could enjoy some extra reps on offense with John Brown (knee) sitting out, but he'll mainly work as a kick and punt returner.

Roberts (ankle) was a limited participant for Saturday's walkthrough practice and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game in Tennessee, the Bills official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts doesn't see much action on offense, but he's one of the best return men in the league and consistently puts the Bills' suddenly high-powered offense in good field position, so his presence is important toward the team's chances of starting out 5-0.

Roberts (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts appears to have suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Raiders, during which he caught his first target of the season for six yards. If the veteran special-teams ace were forced to miss any time, Isaiah McKenzie would stand to take over as Buffalo's top return man.
