Following his release from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad Wednesday morning, veteran running back Jaylen Samuels has a new home.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Houston Texans are signing Samuels to the practice squad after trading away veteran running back Mark Ingram to the New Orleans Saints earlier in the week.
The #Texans are signing former #Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels to the practice squad, source said. Several teams called to bring in Samuels, who adds depth after the Mark Ingram trade.
Samuels joins a team that still has veterans David Johnson, Philip Lindsay and Rex Burkhead on the 53-man roster, but the former fifth-round pick out of North Carolina State in 2018 will become the lone running back on the Texans’ practice squad ahead of the Week 8 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.
