The Texans are elevating defensive tackle Tommy Togiai to the active roster from the practice squad, according to the team’s transaction wire.
Players can be elevated up to three times during the season without having to clear waivers to return to the practice squad. This will mark Togiai’s third and final elevation of the season, meaning the Texans would have to sign him to the active roster if he plans on playing again this year.
Over the past two games against the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions, Togiai has three tackles and one pass breakup on 52 defensive snaps. He’s played 35% of the available defensive playing time.
With a victory, Houston would improve to 4-0 in the AFC South for 2024, setting up a potential playoff-clinching scenario before the bye week next Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Houston is coming off a dominant 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys on “Monday Night Football” behind a three-touchdown outing from running back Joe Mixon. The Texans should also have defensive end Will Anderson Jr. and defensive back Kamari Lassiter back in the starting lineup.
With a victory, the Texans would improve to 4-0 in the AFC South, thus creating a potential playoff-clinching scenario in Week 13’s showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Titans (2-8) struggled in an overtime win over the New England Patriots and neatly fell short of securing a win against a Tua Tagovailoa-less Miami Dolphins team. Tennessee’s offensive line remains problematic, allowing 33 sacks in 10 games.
The Texans vs. Titans will be broadcast on CBS in Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season. Tom McCarthy, Ross Tucker and Jay Feely will work the broadcast booth, while Amanda Balionis will conduct interviews on the sidelines,
