Here are Wednesday’s AFC South transactions, which will continue to be updated throughout the day.

Houston Texans

TE Antony Auclair, DB Shyheim Carter, QB Jeff Driskel, OL Hjalte Froholdt, OL Carson Green, CB Isaiah Johnson, OL Ryan McCollum, WR Chris Moore, LB Hardy Nickerson, S Jonathan Owens, CB Antonio Phillips, TE Paul Quessenberry, DE Derek Rivers, OL Lane Taylor, WR Jordan Veasy

Texans Cut OL Lane Taylor, Get Roster To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 7:07pm CST by Ben Levine

While much of the focus in Houston is on quarterback Deshaun Watson, the Texans still needed to reduce their roster today. They did just that, making the following transactions:

Released

TE Antony Auclair
DB Rasul Douglas
QB Jeff Driskel
WR Alex Erickson
OL Danny Isidora
DL Jaleel Johnson
WR Chris Moore
LB Hardy Nickerson
DL Derek Rivers
LB Joe Thomas
OL Cole Toner

Waived

DB Shyheim Carter
WR Keke Coutee
OL Hjalte Froholdt
OL Carson Green
DB Ka’dar Hollman
RB Buddy Howell
TE Ryan Izzo
OL Ryan McCollum
DB Jonathan Owens
FB Paul Quessenberry
OL Jordan Steckler
WR Jordan Veasy

Released/Failed Physical

OL Lane Taylor

Activated from PUP

OL Marcus Cannon

Placed on Reserve/Suspended list

DB Bradley Roby

There’s a number of notable names on this list, including wideout Keke Coutee, who has started 10 of his 23 games over the past three years for the Texans. Perhaps the most important move is the activation of Cannon, who was acquired from the Patriots earlier this offseason. The 33-year-old is expected to provide the Texans offense with a veteran presence, and his return to practice may have bumped another veteran from the roster. The team released lineman Lane Taylor, who sat on PUP for all of the preseason while recovering from a torn ACL. The veteran has only appeared in two games since the 2019 season, and his return to the NFL will now have to take place elsewhere.

Texans Activate TE Jordan Thomas From IR

November 21st, 2019 at 4:37pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Texans will have an additional tight end option beginning Thursday night. They activated Jordan Thomas off IR.

A second-year player acquired in the 2018 sixth round, Thomas has spent the entire regular season on IR. Thomas, who saw a cracked rib delay his sophomore NFL season, returned to practice last week.

The Mississippi State product started 10 games last season and played in 16. He caught 20 passes for 215 yards and scored four touchdowns as a rookie. Houston has seen Darren Fells deliver as a red zone option this season; his six receiving TDs already match the Texans’ single-season record. Adding Thomas to this mix stands to help Deshaun Watson, who will also get Will Fuller back tonight.

The Texans also promoted safety Jonathan Owens from their practice squad. Justin Reid and Mike Adams are out tonight, leaving Houston shorthanded on its back line. Houston waived defensive end Joel Heath and wideout Steven Mitchell to clear the necessary roster space.
