The Facts:
Because Ahman Green could be out for another two weeks with a groin injury, the Texans are signing Shipp to add more experience and depth to the backfield.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Shipp, who turned 30 this month, was waived by Arizona, where he played the last seven seasons after signing as an undrafted free agent in 2001. Shipp, 5-11, 224, should be at practice Monday. He joins veterans Chris Brown, Chris Taylor, Darius Walker and rookie Steve Slaton (who will start the team's third pre-season game) in a crowded backfield.
