Rashad Butler Performing Well for the Texans

OT Rashad Butler got the highest grades in the O-line, and the more he plays, the more he looks like an absolutely steal. He was a 2006 third-round pick of the Panthers who was waived after a staph infection sidelined him pretty much his entire rookie season. With Charles Spencer gone and Ephraim Salaam injured, Butler may have found the perfect situation.

Rashad Butler Getting Playing Time

Aug/10/08 10:56 AM
With Ephraim Salaam out for three to four weeks and Scott Jackson sidelined because of a foot injury, the Texans signed veteran free-agent offensive tackle Torrin Tucker.

To make room for Tucker on the roster, running back Mike Bell was placed on waivers. Because running back Chris Brown has returned from a back injury, Bell was expendable.

Bell showed up out of shape and got hurt before he was waived. Tucker will suit up against Denver but won’t get in the game unless it’s an emergency. Left tackle Duane Brown will play the first half. He’ll be replaced by Rashad Butler.

“Everybody in the league’s working with these problems, and we’ve got to work through it,” coach Gary Kubiak said.
