After two days of talking with doctors and studying the situation, the Texans finally decided to place running back Chris Brown on injured reserve. That move leaves the Texans with 53 players on their roster, the maximum allowed in the regular season.
Brown, 27, has battled back problems all through training camp. It became the latest issue in what has been an injury-plagued career for Brown.
Brown, signed a two-year contract worth $3.6 million this offseason with the Texans. He received $800,000 as a signing bonus.
