Although initially waived, the Texans apparently decided that they'd rather retain their rights by placing both Jon Abbate and Chad Stanley on IR. As I understand it, this means that neither Stanley nor Abbate can actually make the active roster this season.
Gotta be honest...I'm half in the bag right now, so analyzing this strategy is going to have to wait until later. Until then, let's all hope that the Horns refrain from pulling a Michigan.
