In a trade, center/guard Jarrett Patterson has been sent to the San Francisco 49ers, while tackle Nathan Thomas has been acquired from the Dallas Cowboys. The Texans have also placed several players on the Reserve/Injured list, including wide receiver Tank Dell and safety Ja'Marcus Ingram, who are designated for return. Defensive end Ali Gaye has been placed on the Reserve/Injured list, and linebacker E.J.
Speed has been moved to the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list.
These roster adjustments come as the Texans gear up for their season opener at Reliant Stadium against the Buffalo Bills. Further details on the roster and any additional moves remain unclear.
