  "account": "Kenneth Murray, a former first-round linebacker, has joined the Houston Texans' practice squad following Henry To'oTo'o's injury, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. The Texans required added depth in linebacker position following To'oTo'o's placement on injured reserve after their Sunday loss to the Buffalo Bills. The roster currently includes Azeez Al-Shaair, Jake Hansen, Jake Hummel, and Wade Woodaz. Murray has previously played for the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, and Los Angeles Chargers, and is a native of Houston. To'oTo'o's shoulder injury will likely keep him sidelined for several months. Murray worked out for the New York Giants in July and Miami Dolphins in August, but he finally has another opportunity back in his hometown.",
