Welcome back, Jordan Akins.
According to Aaron Wilson from the Pro Football Network, the Houston Texans are elevating their former 2018 third-round tight end from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of their Week 3 tilt with the Chicago Bears.
The Texans are experiencing availability issues at tight end given second-year Brevin Jordan is out with an ankle injury. Pharaoh Brown is questionable with a shoulder injury, although he was a full participant in Friday’s practice.
Akins caught 24 passes for 214 yards through 13 games for Houston last season, three games of which he started. Akins was not re-signed by Houston in the 2022 offseason and spent the offseason and training camp with the New York Giants.
