Five roster spots to fill

[WMH]

@McClain_on_NFL: Texans R promoting RB Ray Graham 2 roster from PS. They're signing ILBs Tavares Gordon and Jeff Tarpinian. The 53-man roster will be full.

Really concerned about Foster and Tate now....

Tevares Gooden and Jeff Tarpinian appear should help special teams and ILB depth. Gooden, 6'1" 240 lb, had two years Baltimore and two years San Francisco. Tarpinian, 6'3" 245 lb, had one year with New England and one with Carolina.

Three Running backs is one more than I expected. Tate with 4 cracked ribs I expected was out for a while. I guess this let's them go slow with Fosters hammy although it sounded like he'd be back against Indy. Maybe not.

And. Deji and Dennis give options for return game.

It did seem to take a while to name the five guys.

Is it really that difficult for someone who makes his living as a writer (quotation marks available at additional charge) to write are rather than R on his motherfkkking twitter? I mean, seriously. That fat fkkk has better job security than Kubiak.

Maybe I should start writing to that idiot again. He usually answered. I don't know whether that's to his credit or his shame.

The shame's probably mine, now that I think about it. I'm going to go and lick my palms 4 a while and contempl8t it.

so the five are official, from www.houstontexans.com

The Texans signed three running backs and two inside linebackers to the 53-man roster during the bye.

Dennis Johnson, Deji Karim, and Ray Graham participated in training camp in August. Graham, who was already on the practice squad, was placed on the active roster.

Tavares Gooden, sixth-year veteran, was a starting linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. Gooden, a 2008 third-round draft pick from the University of Miami, has logged 73 tackles, one pass defensed, and one forced fumble in his NFL career. Jeff Tarpinian, a third-year linebacker from Iowa, was recently on the practice squad for the Carolina Panthers.
