The circle is complete. Ephraim Salaam, once the starting left tackle for your Houston Texans, is a Texan again, thanks to the questionable health of the youngster who replaced him. It's a tale as old as time: The student becomes the teacher, yet the student suffers a knee injury, thus allowing the original teacher to sign with his former employer, even though the original teacher was deemed bad enough at his job that the Lions cut him a couple weeks ago.

If Duane Brown can't go Sunday, Rashad Butler should get the start at left tackle while Salaam remembers the good old days.
