Texans reinstate Jawhar Jordan to practice after recent cuts

Summary

The Houston Texans announced that running back Jawhar Jordan is returning to practice after recovering from a strained hip flexor. This comes in the wake of the team's releases of Deuce Vaughn and Owen Wright, indicating a possible reshaping of the backfield. Jordan's return is timely as the roster cutdown deadline approaches. Coach Garrett Williams noted that Jordan is expected to be the third running back, having previously shown promise with 101 yards in a game last season. Alongside Jordan, the Texans have David Montgomery and British Brooks vying for roles in their rushing attack.
