Texans claim WR Tyler Johnson off waivers from Buccaneers

The Houston Texans added to their receiving corps by placing a waiver claim on former Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Tyler Johnson.

The Houston Texans are adding to their depth at receiver.

The Texans put in a waiver claim for Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Tyler Johnson, who did not make the NFC South team’s 53-man roster on Tuesday.

With the Texans having third place in the waiver order, getting Johnson was no problem.

The Buccaneers selected Johnson in Round 5 of the 2020 NFL draft. The former Minnesota receiver caught 48 passes for 529 yards and two touchdowns through 31 games, six of which he started.

The Texans already have wideouts Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins, Chris Moore, and Phillip Dorsett on the 53-man roster. Johnson figures to be another target for second-year quarterback Davis Mills.
