Jalen Mills lands on the Texans' practice squad, adding veteran depth as Houston searches for stability after an 0-2 start. Mills owns a nine-year résumé with 115 games and 91 starts, eight interceptions, and 59 passes defended, offering versatile coverage and run support for a developing secondary. Houston shuffled its practice squad again, cutting Silas Bolden and Jaylon Thomas to align with Week 3 needs. The move signals a measured, cost-controlled path to revamping a struggling defense.

The Giants shore up inside linebacker depth by signing Neville Hewitt to the practice squad as injuries mount. McFadden is IR with a foot issue, Muasau concussed, Flannigan-Fowles nursing a calf, and Bozeman/Board stepping in behind Okereke. Hewitt, a 11th-year veteran with Dolphins, Jets and Texans, adds seasoned depth and special-teams know-how to a thinning room. A Dalen Cambre visit hints at further evaluation, with signing uncertain.

Fantasy-minded readers should note Hewitt’s arrival could cap value for reserve LBs until McFadden and Muasau heal. If Cambre lands on the practice squad, depth across defense and ST could shift again. Dallas looms soon, testing the Giants’ depth and special-teams efficiency as rosters stabilize.
