The Houston Texans are making moves.
The team stayed busy on Wednesday afternoon following an announcement that right tackle Tytus Howard, stationed at left guard for most of the 2023 campaign, is going to miss the remainder of the regular season with a knee injury.
Shortly after the announcement, Houston waived cornerback Shaq Griffin. Griffin started multiple contests for the Texans this season in the absence of Derek Stingley but had played zero snaps at corner the last two games after his interception of Joe Burrow in the Week 10 win over Cincinnati.

After that, it was a series of roster formalities for Houston around the rest of their team. Altogether, they made the following moves:
- Waived CB Shaq Griffin
- Placed RT Tytus Howard on Injured Reserve
- Signed CB Desmond King to the 53-man roster
- Reinstated LB Denzel Perryman following his 3 game suspension
- Signed K Matt Ammendola to the practice squad
- Signed LB Garrett Wallow to the practice squad
Perryman and Ammendola are expected to resume their starting positions at middle linebacker and kicker, respectively, for the team’s game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. King, who was with Houston in the pre-season, may be asked to assist Tavierre Thomas at the nickel cornerback position as he gets up to speed with the defense.
