The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t see much use for edge rusher Chris Braswell despite using a 2nd-round pick on him — the Houston Texans didn’t either.
“Texans waived Chris Braswell, released Gavin Gerhardt and Daniel Sobkowicz from practice squad,” NFL reporter Aaron Wilson wrote on his official X account on Tuesday.
“The Texans waived DE Chris Braswell and released C Gavin Gerhardt + WR Daniel Sobkowicz from their practice squad,” Sleeper HQ’s Jacob Barzilla wrote on his official X account on Tuesday. “They have an open roster spot on the 53 if they want to activate Braden Smith or Tank Dell this week.”
Braswell, 6-foot-3 and 255 pounds, did not appear in a regular-season game for the Texans.
Chris Braswell Signed After 53-Man Roster Cuts
The Texans moved quickly to sign Braswell shortly after the Buccaneers released him following 53-man roster cuts.
“Texans add edge Chris Braswell and center Ka’ena De Cambra to practice squad,” Wilson wrote on his official X account on September 1.
“Former Bucs OLB Chris Braswell signs with Texans practice squad,” Fox Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman wrote on his official X account on Tuesday. “He and Logan Hall both now in Houston.”
Buccaneers Finally Parted Ways With Chris Braswell
The Buccaneers coaching staff gave Braswell every chance they could to earn a roster spot over the last 2 years— but those chances finally ran out for the 2024 2nd-round pick.
“The Bucs are releasing edge Chris Braswell, their second-rounder from 2024,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote on August 30.
“The Bucs cut ties with Chris Braswell, a former 2nd-round draft pick out of Alabama,” Tampa sports radio host Chris Mathis wrote on his official X account. “I wish him well, but damn, that was a disappointing stint in Tampa Bay.”
“Free from the shackles of Chris Braswell doing absolutely nothing and wearing 43 as a pass rusher for no reason,” Bucs reporter EMT Ashlie wrote on their official X account. “That second round really giving (general manager) Jason Licht trouble.”
