Two days after being waived by the New England Patriots, former Camden High and Clemson standout Thomas Austin was signed by the Houston Texans as part of their 53-man roster. Austin, a 2005 CHS graduate and a member of the Bulldogs’ 2001 AAA state championship team, was among the final group of players cut from the Patriots on Saturday. On Sunday, reportedly, four teams --- Houston, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and St. Louis --- had claimed the 6-foot-4, 310-pount offensive guard off waivers.
