The Texans made a couple of moves this week as they prepare for this Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. They sent one offensive lineman to Injured Reserve, promoted one linebacker to the active roster from the practice squad, cut a wideout from the practice squad, and signed two new players to the practice squad.

Senio Kelemete was the team’s starting left guard for the majority of last season, and he started at left guard last week before Tytus Howard took over, and then Max Scharping took over.

The Texans then added wide receiver Chad Hansen and former preseason offensive lineman Christian DiLauro to their practice squad. To make room for two players with only one open spot, Houston also cut preseason fan favorite, undrafted wide receiver Tyron Johnson.
