Texans waive DT Auzoyah Alufohai, C Drake Jackson

The Houston Texans announced they have waived DT Auzoyah Alufohai and C Drake Jackson.

The Houston Texans continue to trim down their roster as they gear up for the preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Saturday night at NRG Stadium.

The team announced Tuesday evening they had placed second-year defensive tackle Auzoyah Alufohai on waivers along with undrafted free agent center Drake Jackson.

Alufohai went undrafted in 2020 out of West Georgia. The 6-4, 320-pound defensive tackle played in three games last season and collected one tackle.

Jackson was claimed off waivers from the Detroit Lions in the middle of August, and he saw seven snaps at center against the Dallas Cowboys in Houston’s 20-14 preseason win at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Texans place practice squad protections on DT Auzoyah Alufohai, WR Damion Ratley

The Houston Texans placed practice squad protections on defensive tackle Auzoyah Alufohai and receiver Damion Ratley for Week 16.

The Houston Texans have announced their practice squad protections for Week 16 as they gear up to play the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday at 12:00 p.m. CT at NRG Stadium.

Houston has placed protections on undrafted rookie defensive tackle Auzoyah Alufohai and receiver Damion Ratley.

Alufohai saw the first action of his career in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. The former West Georgia product collected a tackle among his 15 snaps played on defense. The 6-4, 320-pound interior defensive lineman also played five snaps on special teams.

Ratley, a Yoakum High School and Texas A&M product, has been a member of the Texans’ practice squad since Oct. 20. The Texans signed former practice squad receiver, Chad Hansen, to the active roster ahead of the Week 15 loss to the Colts.
