All sorts of moves going on...... Heard Kourtnei Brown is back ....

Bullough has been put on the 53.

Carlos Thompson and Mike Mohamed have been put on IR....

The Houston Texans Have Signed Brian Peters

The Houston Texans have signed free agent linebacker Brian Peters to the 53-man roster.


The Houston Texans have signed free agent Brian Peters to the 53-man roster. Peters went to Northwestern and spent time in Iowa Barnstormers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders for three years before landing with the Minnesota Vikings.

Peters spent time with the Vikings during training camp and appeared in four games racking up 8 tackles, two pass deflections and two interceptions.

There will be corresponding moves to add Peters.

Sounds like they're trying to do something about the STs...
