Per McClain, the Texans became desperate for safety help today when rookie Brandon Harrison suffered a severely pulled hamstring in practice. He could wind up on injured reserve.

Babin was a 2004 first-round pick out of Western Michigan who led the Texans with five sacks last season. Boulware was a 2004 second-round pick out of Florida State who started eight games last year for the Seahawks.
