Duane Brown Suspended: Texans Re-Sign Ephraim Salaam

What is in that Houston water? According to multiple sources on twitter, Duane Brown has tested positive for a banned substance and has elected not to appeal. Therefore, his four game suspension begins immediately.

So, Rashod Butler gets the first start of his NFL career this Sunday against Dallas and Demarcus Ware. Fortunately, it is a home game and that should limit anxious mistakes like false starts. Also, unlike in a road game, he should be able to hear Matt Schaub’s snap count, which will mitigate Ware’s ability to beat him off the snap. I’m actually very high on Butler.
