Cap, morning......  Try it...  I'd slice the roast so it was about 1 1/2" thick then brine/cure...  just so it was the correct thickness for a proper cure... and shorter curing time...   A "round" roast say 5-6" thick would need to be injected and take longer to cure...  just saying... and it would need to be sliced anyway...
