The back issues that plagued Naperville North graduate Chris Brown during training camp this fall have landed the Houston Texans running back on injured reserve.
The Texans put Brown on IR on Saturday afternoon (via profootballtalk.com), making the final roster move needed to get down to the mandatory 53 players. This means Chris Brown, who signed a free-agent deal with Houston this spring, will not play this season.
Brown, 27, has battled back problems all through training camp. It became the latest issue in what has been an injury-plagued career for Brown. He averaged 10 appearances a season over five years with the Titans.
So Brown will collect a check and try to get healthy. It's better than getting cut, like fellow North grad Glenn Earl, but it's still a bum deal for Brown.
