Texans release WR Taywan Taylor, add WR Jalen Camp, CB Antonio Phillips

The Houston Texans reached an injury settlement with WR Taywan Taylor and added CB Antonio Phillips and WR Jalen Camp to the practice squad.

The Houston Texans are continuing to tinker with the bottom of their roster as they get ready for Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, Sept. 12 at NRG Stadium.

The Texans reached an injury settlement with receiver Taywan Taylor on Friday. The former Tennessee Titans 2017 third-round pick was released from the injured reserve and is now a free agent.

Houston also added two players to the practice squad: cornerback Antonio Phillips and receiver Jalen Camp. Phillips is an undrafted free agent from Ball State who was in camp with the Cincinnati Bengals, while Camp is a 2021 seventh-round pick for the Jaguars.

Report: Bengals issue $25K signing bonus to UDFA Antonio Phillips

The Cincinnati Bengals doled out some notable money for an undrafted free agent.

The Cincinnati Bengals opened up the checkbook a bit to secure one of their top targets in undrafted free agency.

According to Yahoo Sports’ Eric Edholm, the Bengals will give Ball State cornerback Antonio Phillips a $25,000 signing bonus.

That’s not the biggest bonus in the world, but it’s typically a sign the team really wanted him and/or had some competition for him.

Over four years at Ball State, Phillips picked off eight passes with 18 passes defended. NFL.com outlines him as an outsider corner prospect.

After not addressing cornerback at all over the course of 10 picks in the draft itself, it isn’t too shocking to see the Bengals add to the position group in free agency.
