The Texans placed veteran offensive guard Senio Kelemete on injured reserve.
Kelemete was signed to a three-year, $12 million contract a year ago, but injuries and drafting rookie offensive lineman Max Scharping and Tytus Howard cost him his starting job.
The Texans promoted inside linebacker Tyrell Adams to the active roster from the practice squad.
The Texans signed wide receiver Chad Hansen to the practice squad, cutting wide receiver Tyron Johnson one day after signing him to the practice squad. They also signed offensive lineman Christian DiLauro to the practice squad.
