Texans waive former Missouri WR Damon Hazelton

The Houston Texans have waived Damon Hazelton, a former Missouri Tigers receiver who was an undrafted free agent in 2021.

The Houston Texans are continuing to refine their offseason roster as they work through organized team activities.

The team announced Tuesday they have waived former Missouri receiver Damon Hazelton.

Hazelton, 25, was an undrafted free agent who spent portions of the 2021 offseason and training camp with the Texans. Houston initially waived the 6-3, 215-pound wideout on Aug. 11, 2021, and the Green Bay Packers signed Hazelton nine days later.

The Packers waived Hazelton at the end of preseason to finalize their 53-man roster.

Houston signed Hazelton to their practice squad on Oct. 6, but released on Dec. 8 to only sign him back to the practice squad three days later. The Texans signed Hazelton to a reserve/future contract on Jan. 11.
