The Houston Texans continue to evaluate their roster even as the regular season draws to a close with a game to go.
The Texans claimed rookie safety Geno Stone from the Baltimore Ravens. The club them placed Stone on the exempt/commissioner permission list.
Stone played in two games for the Ravens from Weeks 9-10. In the Nov. 8 game at the Indianapolis Colts, Stone played 19 snaps on special teams in the 24-10 victory. In the Nov. 15 Sunday Night Football matchup in the pouring rain at the New England Patriots, Stone played 19 special teams snaps once more and added two defensive snaps in a 23-17 loss.
Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey endorsed the move by the Texans, and Baltimore safety DeShon Elliott similarly praised the claim by Houston.
