Patriots sign wide receiver Texans just released
The New England Patriots will do whatever it takes to defeat the Houston Texans. This includes signing one of their former players in Riley McCarron.
The New England Patriots have signed former Houston Texans’ wide receiver Riley McCarron to their practice squad after being dumped by the Texans.
Now while the Pats have some injury issues at the wide receiver position, you know darn well that head coach Bill Belichick is trying to gain any advantage he can over the Texans heading into this Sunday’s showdown.
The Patriots and Texans are two NFL teams that probably know one another more than any other teams in the league given the fact that Houston has a good number of former coaches and players working on their coaching staff right now.
So having someone like McCarron on their practice squad, can help the Patriots gain some extra intel on the Texans and their offense.
McCarron is a former University of Iowa wide receiver that is a prototypical slot receiver standing at 5-feet-9, 185 pounds. He looked pretty good during the preseason, but wasn’t worth keeping on the Texans’ roster, which is why he ended up on their practice squad.
With all of the roster shuffling that the Texans has been doing lately, due to all of the injuries they’ve been dealing with, they had to move on from McCarron by releasing him from their practice squad.
Don’t be surprised if the Patriots release McCarron from their practice squad within the next couple of weeks.
