The Texans shuffled their practice squad earlier today, including the decision to part ways with a name familiar to Houston fans.
The Texans have cut quarterback Zac Dysert from the practice squad, signing center Dalton Freeman and outside linebacker Gerald Rivers to the practice squad.
Rivers has played for the New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars and St. Louis Rams as a defensive end, but the 6-2, 250-pounder projects to outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme.
A former undrafted free agent from Mississippi, Rivers ran the 40-yard dash in 4.
