The Houston Texans lost three players to waivers today but didn’t win any players via waiver claims.
OLB Kourtnei Brown was claimed on waivers by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown was a “Hard Knocks” star after making several big players throughout the preseason. The Texans opted to go with OLB Carlos Thompson over Brown.
NT Louis Nix III is headed to the New York Giants. Nix was a third round pick in 2014 but was palced on Injured Reserve last season. The Texans talked up Nix this offseason and preseason but clearly felt he wasn’t worthy of a roster spot and chose to cut ties early in the second season.
