Texans make pair of roster moves ahead of Browns game

Almost two weeks ago, the Houston Texans signed safety Marcus Cromartie to their 53-man roster.

Cromartie is the cousin of NFL cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Antonio Cromartie.

Unfortunately Marcus Cromartie’s time in Houston didn’t last very long, after being active for only one game and not recording a single stat.

Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported on Saturday that the Texans released Cromartie and have signed safety Kurtis Drummond from their practice squad to their 53-man roster.

Drummond spent the first four weeks of the season on the Texans’ roster, but was released when they signed free agent linebacker Ben Heeney.
