Kris Brown, K Friday 9/3, 9:21 AM CT
The Texans have released Kris Brown, according to Fox Houston.

Our View: Brown has been the only kicker in the team's history but was beaten out this summer by Neil Rackers. It's doubtful that he's picked up by anyone this close to the season, though he'll be one of the first guys to be called should any team's kicker get hurt or struggle at the beginning of the season.
Neil Rackers, K Friday 9/3, 9:19 AM CT
Neil Rackers had beaten out Kris Brown for the Texans' kicker job, according to Fox Houston.

Our View: As a result, Rackers should be one of the top kickers selected in all fantasy drafts. He's a proven veteran who will be kicking in one of the most high-powered offenses in the league.
Steve Slaton, RB Friday 9/3, 8:36 AM CT
Texans coach Gary Kubiak has hinted that Steve Slaton's status for Week 1 against the Colts could be iffy due to a toe injury, according to the team's official site. "Steve is out, we're hoping he's ready to go against Indianapolis," Kubiak said.

Our View: Expect to hear more about this situation in the coming week. Regardless, Arian Foster should be in line for plenty of work against the Colts.
