Texans sign Chris Braswell to the team practice squad

The Houston Texans added defensive end Chris Braswell to their practice squad following his release by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Braswell, a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, struggled to secure a starting role during his two seasons in Tampa Bay, recording two and a half sacks in that span. He previously played as an outside linebacker at Alabama, where he recorded eight sacks and 10 tackles for loss in his final collegiate season. In Houston, he joins a defensive room that includes Will Anderson Jr. and Logan Hall. The Texans are currently managing injuries at the defensive end position, potentially creating an opening for Braswell to be elevated to the active roster. He will work to transition from his prior outside linebacker role to the team's 4-3 defensive scheme while training on the practice squad.
