Tommy Togiai spent the last three games as an elevated player from the Houston Texans’ practice squad.
His performance was good enough to land him a spot on the active 53-man roster.
The Texans are signing the veteran defensive tackle to the active roster, according to the team’s latest transaction list.
In a corresponding move, Houston is placing cornerback Ka’dar Hollman on injured reserve after Sunday’s game. Hollman, who started two games for Houston, recently suffered a torn ACL in Week 12’s loss against the Tennessee Titans.

The Texans were caught at a crossroads with Togiai entering Week 13. If they planned on promoting him from the practice squad again, it would have to be permanent since they previously elevated him three times from the NFL limit.
According to KPRC2 Sports Aaron Wilson, the two sides agreed to terms on a two-year contract through the 2025 season. Through three games, Togiai has five tackles and one sack.
