Texans release Jaelen Strong

HOUSTON -- The Texans released wide receiver Jaelen Strong on Monday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 2015 third-round pick was suspended for the first game of the season for his February 2016 arrest for illegal possession of marijuana. Strong was riding in a car driven by Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, a former teammate at Arizona State, and admitted to having the marijuana without a medical marijuana card.

Strong played in the Texans' Week 2 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals but did not have a target.
