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.
