The Houston Texans announced a series of roster moves on Thursday for their Week 8 matchup.
The full list includes:
- Texans released LB Kamu Grugier-Hill.
- Texans signed DL Jaleel Johnson off of the Falcons’ practice squad.
- Texans signed WR Michael Young to their practice squad.
- Texans placed WR Drew Estrada on the practice squad injured list.
Grugier-Hill reported approached the team asking to be released and the Texans’ brass opted to fulfill the request.
Grugier-Hill, 28, is a former sixth-round pick of the Patriots back in 2016. He lasted just a few months in New England before he was waived and later claimed by the Eagles.
Grugier-Hill finished the final year of his four-year, $2.61 million contract and made a base salary of $720,000 for the 2019 season before signing a one-year contract with the Dolphins.
He later signed a one-year deal with the Texans for the 2021 season and opted to re-sign with them once again this past offseason on another one-year contract.
In 2022, Grugier-Hill has appeared in six games for the Texans and recorded 40 tackles, including one tackle for loss and one pass defended.
