Defensive again Kris Boyd, who was anticipated to be a core special-teamer, was positioned on season-ending injured reserve on account of a shoulder harm suffered Aug. 2 throughout an intra-squad scrimmage.
Boyd signed a one-year, $1.6 million free agent contract that included $333,000 assured after taking part in in all 17 video games for the Texans final season.
Boyd’s absence opens up a spot on the backside of the 53-man roster for an additional defensive again and special-teamer, which might be former sixth-round choose Jarrick Bernard-Converse or Jarius Monroe.
