Wide receiver and punt returner Amari Rodgers, who was released by the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, has been claimed off the waiver wire by the Houston Texans, the team announced Wednesday.
Rodgers was released after the former 2021 third-round draft pick fumbled against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. It was his fifth fumble of the season -- the most by any non-quarterback in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats & Information research -- with four of those coming on punt returns.
He has averaged 8.3 yards per punt return this season.
