One such player is safety Brandon Hill, who previously spent three years with the Texans before joining the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad in late 2025. Unfortunately, Hill did not see any game action with the Raiders and was not offered a Reserve/Future contract. This has allowed him to return to the Texans, who have now signed him back to their practice squad. 🛡️
Despite his return, it remains uncertain whether Hill will play in the playoffs, as he has only participated in two career games and hasn’t played since 2023. The Texans’ decision to bring him back seems more focused on future plans rather than immediate playoff contributions against the Patriots. 🔄
Meanwhile, the Raiders are preparing for a significant offseason, with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft likely aimed at securing a new quarterback. General manager John Spytek has also highlighted the need to improve the offensive line, which struggled this season, leading to quarterback Geno Smith being sacked 55 times. 🏗️
Spytek emphasized a careful and strategic approach to rebuilding the team, acknowledging that major changes are necessary after a disappointing 3-14 season. He aims for a meticulous build that could set the Raiders up for long-term success, although the timeline for this vision remains uncertain. ⏳
