John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Texans have officially designated rookie OLB Brennan Scarlett as their player to return from injured reserve.
This opens a three-week window for the Texans to officially activate him from their injured reserve list.
Scarlett, 23, wound up signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford back in May. He managed to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason but was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury back in October.
In 2016, Scarlett has appeared in five games for the Texans and recorded five tackles and no sacks.
