  "account": "The Houston Texans, currently 0-4 in the NFL season, have bolstered their roster by signing former Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski. Gronowski, who recently joined the Texans' practice squad on September 8 after being released from the Miami Dolphins' practice squad, has now been added to the active roster for their upcoming Week 5 game against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans, who have yet to secure a victory this season, will face off against the also winless Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Sunday at noon CT. Gronowski's presence on the Texans' active roster joins starting quarterback C.J. Stroud and backup Davis Mills, who aim to turn the tide in their season with a win against the Titans.",
  "summary": "In a series of transactions on Wednesday, Houston elevated former Iowa football quarterback Mark Gronowski to its 53-man active roster.",
