The Houston Texans are shaking things up!
In the latest round of roster maneuvers, Houston has pulled a rabbit out of their hat by signing cornerback Ka’dar Hollman right off Baltimore’s practice squad. Picture this: Hollman, now 30, was stomping the yard last season for the Texans, gracing the gridiron in all 17 games. He wasn’t just warming the bench either; he made his presence felt on 49 percent of special teams snaps and even squeezed his way into 9 percent of those all-important defensive snaps. A jack of all trades, if you will.
This season, Hollman made a pit stop at Baltimore, suiting up for three games, honing his special teams craft. But fate had other plans, and he’s now back in cowboy country, ready to forge new paths and leave a mark with the Texans once again.
A New Era, One Move at a Time
The Texans’ roster adjustment did not stop there; the winds of change also blew in some bittersweet news. Running back British Brooks will be cheering on his teammates from the sidelines after a knee injury landed him on injured reserve. Brooks, the unsung hero on special teams, was in cahoots with the pigskin crew for 56 percent of the club’s special teams snaps in the five games played. His absence is like missing a drumstick from a perfect chicken wing platter – you notice when it’s gone.
The Art of Thriving Amidst Challenges
One can only imagine the banter between Hollman and Brooks. Perhaps it went something like this down at the Texans’ camp:
“Ka’dar,” Brooks might say with a grin, “hold my playbook and keep my spot warm on special teams, okay?”
And Hollman, with a nod, replying, “You know it, British. This special teams train isn’t stopping anytime soon!”
Houston is navigating the season with demonstrable grit and resilience, reminiscent of a palm tree bending but never breaking in a storm. The franchise continues to adapt, evolving its chess pieces on the board to master the game we all love. And while the road may be winding, the Texans are on a journey worth watching. Keep your eyes peeled, folks; the best is yet to come!
