Texans sign linebacker Kenneth Murray to practice squad amid roster changes
Summary

The Houston Texans signed linebacker Kenneth Murray to their practice squad on September 15, following injuries to key players. Murray, a former first-round pick who started 16 games for the Dallas Cowboys last season, had a successful visit and workout with the team. He was signed to bolster the Texans' linebacker corps after placing Henry To’oTo’o on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. The Texans have faced challenges with player availability, necessitating roster adjustments. Murray's prior interests included a visit with the New York Giants earlier this summer, but transactions did not materialize at that time.
