Texans OLB Bryan Braman has been running with the starters at OTAs. Braman is one of the top special teams players in the league, but he has played just 81 snaps on defense in his two seasons. "Here's an opportunity to say, 'Bryan, can you start? Can you be a starter in this league?' So we're going to give him a chance throughout OTAs to see how far he can come," coach Gary Kubiak said. Braman's getting a chance because Brooks Reed has been taking reps at inside linebacker.
