Texans activate WR Justin Watson from injured reserve
by from on (#72F87)
The Texans activated wide receiver Justin Watson from injured reserve on Monday, the team announced.
Watson went on injured reserve Sept. 17 after injuring a calf muscle/Achilles' tendon in the Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. He returned to practice Dec. 10.
Watson, a former fifth-round pick of the Bucs, has three catches for 30 yards on four targets in two games.
The team waived defensive lineman Solomon Byrd in a corresponding move.
Byrd signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Dec. 3, but he has not played in a regular-season game this season. His only action came in 2024 when he played 20 defensive snaps and one special teams snap in one game.
