The Houston Texans are trimming down their active roster.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans released defensive tackle Albert Huggins. Wilson says if another team doesn’t sign Huggins, then he would be on the shortlist to join the Texans’ practice squad.
Houston signed Huggins at the beginning of training camp after defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes opted out. The Texans have familiarity with the former Clemson Tiger as he was one of their priority free agents following the 2019 NFL Draft.
Huggins landed on the Texans’ practice squad at the end of last preseason, but the Philadelphia Eagles signed him off of their squad onto their active roster that October. Huggins bounced up and down from their respective roster and practice squad until the New England Patriots got into the fray. At the end of the season, the Eagles signed Huggins to a reserve/future contract.
The move brings the Texans’ roster to 79.
