Ed Reed has said that he still has some work to do as he continues his recovery from hip surgery.
The Houston Texans safety has been back in practice for almost three weeks, but is yet to play a game for his new team.
The 35-year-old told reporters: "I've still got some work to do, man. I've still got some work to do. It's still what I told them weeks ago and then in the off-season. I deal with this tightness and soreness in there. It's still there, so I've got a lot of work to do.
"I've been practicing since I came off PUP when the season started. I've been getting reps in there and just working week to week, trying to get some reps to see how much endurance I have in it. Just moving around is always good.
"I haven't played in three weeks [since] the start of the season. I'm not confident about nothing but going day to day the way I've been. There's no confidence about it if I haven't played. You can't be confident if you haven't been on the field."
The Texans play Reed's former team, the Baltimore Ravens, this weekend.
