The Houston Texans have changed their mind on a linebacker that was released a couple days ago.

After the Houston Texans released linebacker Joe Thomas on Aug. 31 to get to their initial 53-man roster, the franchise has changed their mind and are brining back the defensive player after re-signing him to the to the roster on Thursday.

Though he’s never played a regular season snap for the Houston Texans, the re-signing of Thomas, a seven-year NFL veteran, stands out because they did so after having a roster spot open when they placed four-year defensive back A.
