Texans' Brown officially active vs. Seahawks after ending holdout

The Houston Texans won't waste any time deploying starting tackle Duane Brown.

Brown ended his seven-week holdout Monday and has been officially activated to play in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

With rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson under center helping to vault the Texans to third in the league in rushing, the team could benefit from having a three-time Pro Bowler protecting his blind side.
