The Texans are expected to promote former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Cobi Hamilton from the practice squad to their active roster, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
Texans starting wide receiver Will Fuller is dealing with a cracked rib and kick returner Chris Thompson aggravated a knee injury Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Texans are also expected to place running back D'Onta Foreman on injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered Sunday that will require surgery.
Hamilton played collegiately at Arkansas.
He's a former Cincinnati Bengals sixth-round draft pick.
