He can't practice till the 4th.

That rule has to be one of the most idiotic things to come out of this new CBA/lockout. If these guys have a signed contract, they should be able to practice.

He was not on the roster handed out this morning and he was not out there watching the guys work.

I've read he was signed but but did not see any sign of him.

All the other signed guys were out there with the team watching from the side.

According to the roster sheet we got this morning we have 86 guys.

Curious that he was not listed on the roster, but I wouldn't read terribly much into him not being there. He was just signed so they may have allowed him to head back home to wrap up anything he needed to wrap up before heading back here for good. All the other guys had a day or so to get their affairs in order either while negotiations were ongoing or after their deals were made before coming down here (or signed big enough deals that the Texans wanted them here immediately for PR purposes). We're talking about a punter. It's not like he needs to be here trying to integrate himself into a defense.
