The Houston Texans PR announced on their official Twitter account that they signed defensive back A.J. Hendy from the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad on Wednesday afternoon. The Texans had to open up a roster spot and they placed defensive back and special teams contributor Mike Tyson on the IR. Tyson was listed on the injury report with an ankle and knee injury and was unable to practice the last couple of days.
With the possibility of Tyson missing the majority of the playoffs the Texans opted to place him on the IR and bring a healthy player capable of contributing on special teams.
