Texans elevate OT Austin Deculus from practice squad for Week 2 against the Colts

The Houston Texans have elevated OT Austin Deculus as part of their two practice squad elevations in anticipation for Week 2.

The Houston Texans are getting ready for a series of outcomes if Laremy Tunsil is unable to go in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Texans signed center-guard Michael Deiter from the practice squad to the active roster. That should give Houston options along the interior as they possibly slide Josh Jones, who debuted last week at left guard, out to left tackle to replace the three-time Pro Bowler.

Houston also declared second-year tackle Austin Deculus as one of their two standard practice squad elevations. The other elevation is seven-year safety DeAndre Houston-Carson due to starters Jalen Pitre and Jimmie Ward being out.

The Texans also waived defensive end Derek Rivers from the active roster.
