Per Adam Schefter, the Texans have activated CB Jeff Okudah from injured reserve for their game against the Cowboys.
The team is also activating DL Mario Edwards from IR and elevating DT Tommy Togiai. They are releasing DB Myles Bryant and RB J.J. Taylor in corresponding moves.
Okudah, 25, started one season at Ohio State and earned All-American honors before the Lions used the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 draft on him.
He signed a four-year, $33,528,542 rookie contract that included a $21,944,394 signing bonus. The contract included a fifth-year option for the 2024 season that Detroit declined.
The Lions later traded Okudah to the Falcons in exchange for a 2023 fifth-round pick in April 2023. After playing out his rookie contract, Okudah signed a one-year deal with the Texans this past offseason.
In 2023, Okudah appeared in 13 games for the Falcons and recorded 44 tackles as well as three pass deflections.
In 2024, Okudah has appeared in one game for the Texans but did not record any statistics.
