Texans add DT Jaleel Johnson to COVID-19 reserve among other roster moves

The Houston Texans have added defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson to the COVID-19 reserve.

Houston placed defensive ends Derek Rivers, Jacob Martin, and defensive tackle Maliek Collins on the COVID-19 reserve Monday.

The Texans signed defensive end Ron’Dell Carter and defensive tackle Xavier Williams on Tuesday. The Nick Caserio connection for Williams is he spent a game with the New England Patriots last season. Carter spent 2020 with the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts, and was recent on the Arizona Cardinals practice squad.

Houston also signed linebacker Josh Watson to their practice squad. The former 2019 undrafted free agent from Colorado State spent the first two seasons on the Denver Broncos before being on the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Chargers’ practice squads in 2021.
