Vyncint Smith headlines Houston Texans’ practice squad
The Houston Texans have brought back wide receiver Vyncint Smith and several other players to the practice squad after roster cutdowns to get to the 53-man roster.
Vyncint Smith is returning to the Houston Texans after being released from the 53-man roster. According to a report by Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, Smith is being added to the practice squad of the team.
Having Smith return to the team, even on the practice squad is a very smart move by the Texans. Smith will now be able to spend another season with the Texans, continuing to work on their offensive system, and working on his overall skills to earn a spot back on the 53-man roster.
