Rice (knee) had his practice-squad contract with the Ravens expire Monday, per the league's official transactions log.
EDGE Analysis
Rice spent the season on the Ravens' practice squad, and he never got a shot at the top level. However, he has experience on special teams over 12 games with the Browns and Bills last year, recording five tackles.

Rice was placed on the Ravens' practice squad injury list Friday with an apparent knee injury, Luke Johnson of WNST.net reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rice suffered the injury during Wednesday's practice as he limped off the field toward the training room, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The 26-year-old has 14 total tackles and one interception in 19 career games between the Eagles, Texans, Browns and Bills, but he has yet to see the field in 2019.

Rice has been elevated from the practice squad amid a series of moves Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rice has floated around the league for a few years now, so the last month of the season will be an important audition if he's to find a more permanent home in the NFL, as his practice-squad eligibility is starting to come to a close.

Rice was waived by the Browns on Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rice had played only 37 defensive snaps across eight games this season, mostly serving as a special teams player. The Browns claimed cornerback Phillip Gaines and safety Jermaine Whitehead off waivers to prompt his departure from the team.

The Browns signed Rice to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rice is entering his fourth year in the NFL but didn't appear in a regular-season game in 2017, though he did spend time on the Colts' practice squad during the second half of the season. He slots in as the 10th member of the Browns current cornerback corps and faces an uphill battle to secure a roster spot in advance of the 2018 campaign.

Rice (ankle) was placed on IR Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Rice has appeared in seven games over his last two years. With an IR designation this season, it begs questioning whether the 24-year-old's window of opportunity is quickly closing.

Rice (ankle) was waived/injured by the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rice was not a likely candidate to make the final roster before going down with an ankle injury. He will presumably clear waivers and revert to the team's injured reserve.

Rice's fourth-quarter interception led to the winning score in Houston's win over New England in preseason Week 2.
EDGE Analysis
Rice got some extra snaps because Robert Nelson (hamstring) was idle and made the kind of play that leaves an impression on coaches. Whether that turns into a roster spot is uncertain. That Rice was playing the fourth quarter of a preseason game indicates something about his chances of sticking with the Texans.

Rice was promoted to the Texans' active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rice was signed to the team's practice squad in mid-October, but will now have a chance to prove himself on a much bigger stage. He'll provide depth for the Texans' cornerback unit.
