Titans waive K Josh Lambo among four roster moves

The Titans made four roster moves on Monday.

The Tennessee Titans announced four roster moves on Monday, one of which included the parting of ways of kicker Josh Lambo, who was waived from the active roster.

This appears to be good news for the Titans, as it likely means kicker Randy Bullock is ready to return after a one-game absence. Lambo missed one of his four extra point tries in Week 11 but did not attempt a field goal.

And, with nobody being added in Lambo’s place on the roster, it leaves the Titans with an open spot. The hope is rookie wide receiver Kyle Philips, who is eligible to return from injured reserve this week, eventually takes that spot.

In addition to that move, the Titans waived tight end Anthony Auclair from the practice squad and added both wideout Chris Conley and offensive lineman Eric Smith.

Tennessee will host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, with kickoff set for noon CDT on Sunday.

Anthony Auclair helps Texans strike first vs. Patriots

In his first reception with the #Texans, Anthony Auclair helped his team to an early lead over the #Patriots while also scoring his first NFL touchdown.

The Houston Texans drew first blood against the New England Patriots in Week 5, also getting a player involved in the passing game for the first time since he joined the team.

Anthony Auclair appeared in all four games with the Texans so far this season, but the fifth-year tight end had yet to catch a pass. He had primarily been used as a blocker and on special teams up until today.

Davis Mills led Houston on an 18-play drive and with just 11 yards to go until the end zone, he targeted Auclair for the first time this season. The veteran delivered, extending for a touchdown grab that would give the Texans an early lead over New England.

This wasn’t just Auclair’s first career touchdown with the Texans, it was also his first career touchdown grab in the NFL. Auclair spent his first four NFL seasons playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers catching just 10 passes for 84 yards.

Houston still has a six-point lead over New England with just over eight minutes remaining in the first half.
