Houston Texans veteran safety Justin Reid will be back on the field this Sunday when the team plays the Indianapolis Colts, head coach David Culley said on Wednesday.

Reid had been benched due to “disciplinary reasons” last week in the Texans’ 21-14 loss to the New York Jets. KPRC 2′s Vanessa Richardson and other media outlets had reported that this stemmed from a disagreement, but Culley later said the benching was about more than just a disagreement.
