But I saw Rackers out kick Brown at one of the open practices this year, and we've now learned that Brown is fighting a case of plantar fascia, so I'm thinking that Kuibak had several reasons to go this way.

Aight, IIRC last year the practice squad list came out Sunday night (24 hrs from the Saturday 3pm deadline) and I expect it will be the same this year....

Perhaps the Texans waited till close to the deadline this year to give teams less time to think about it...
