The Houston Texans officially released TE Dalton Keene from injured reserve with an injury settlement, per the NFL Transactions wire.
Keene, 26, was selected with the No. 101 overall pick in the third round of the 2020 draft out of Virginia Tech after the Patriots traded up to get him.
He signed a four-year, $4,057,645 rookie contract including an $832,294 signing bonus but was cut loose in 2022.
Keene had since had stints with the Eagles and Broncos before signing on with the Texans in 2023. He returned to the Texans last year on a futures contract and was placed on injured reserve in recent weeks.
In 2020, Keene appeared in six games and caught three passes for 16 yards receiving.
