The #Texans are placing Tank Dell is going on the IR, designated to return, per a source. He'll miss a minimum of 4 games. Gives him enough time to get acclimated.

Pats Trade For Vikings OL

Mike Reiss

@MikeReiss

Walter Rouse (6-6, 330) is a third-year player out of Oklahoma. Patriots build depth, and this is similar to the trade for RB Corey Kiner in that the 31st waiver-claim position leads team to be more aggressive rather than wait.

Ian Rapoport

The #Patriots are trading for former #Vikings OT Walter Rouse, source says, as it's a 6th rounder/7th round flop. Rather than a release, Rouse is dealt.
