Player News
Texans waived/released DT Angelo Blackson, C/G Greg Mancz, CB Anthony Chesley, G Cordel Iwuagwu, G/T Jerald Hawkins, ILB Nate Hall, LS Anthony Kukwa, LS Jon Weeks, NT Auzoyah Alufohai, OLB Davin Bellamy, RB Karan Higdon Jr., RB Scottie Phillips, S Jaylen Watkins, S Jonathan Owens, T Brent Qvale, T Elijah Nkansah, T Kyle Murphy, T Rick Lenard, TE Jordan Thomas, WR Chad Hansen, WR Issac Whitney, WR Steven Mitchel Jr., and WR Tyler Simmons.
Higdon was an undrafted free agent from Michigan. He's undersized and doesn't make a difference on passing downs, limiting his usefullness in the NFL.
Higdon signed a reserve/future contract with the Texans on Monday.
Higdon joined the Texans as an undrafted free agent in the spring and remained on the practice squad after falling victim to roster cutdowns. The 23-year-old will now have a full offseason with the team to work towards a roster spot in 2020.
Higdon was signed to the Houston's practice squad.
Higdon was the Texans' top ball carrier in terms of attempts during the preseason, but Lamar Miller's injury created a need to add more proven backs to the mix. Hence, the Texans will ride Duke Johnson and Carlos Hyde as their top two backs with Buddy Howell and Taiwan Jones filling out the depth chart.
Houston waived Higdon on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Higdon has yet to see any regular-season action since going undrafted out of Michigan in 2017. The 22-year-old started in Houston's preseason finale against the Rams, rushing eight times for 25 yards and catching both of his targets for 16 more yards. The Texans traded for fellow running back Carlos Hyde on Saturday, which alleviated some pressure on their running back situation but made Higdon more expendable.
