The Texans placed Anderson (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Anderson will undergo season-ending surgery after dislocating his knee during practice Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was considered a longshot to make the final roster, so his expected absence for the entire 2022 campaign shouldn't affect Houston's depth chart at running back. The 5-foot-11, 212-pound back has yet to record an NFL carry after spending the last two seasons on the Colts' and Cowboys' practice squads.

The Harris County District Attorney's office dismissed the burglary charges against Anderson on Friday because of insufficient evidence, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the charges against him dropped, Anderson can shift his focus back to trying to earn a spot on the Texans' roster. He's fighting an uphill battle in that regard in a crowded backfield led by Marlon Mack, Rex Burkhead and rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce.

The Texans signed Anderson to the practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson lands on the practice squad of a Texans team that will be without Rex Burkhead (hip) for Week 15. As a result, there's a chance Anderson could see emergency reserve duties during Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.

The Colts waived Anderson on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson spent time on Indianapolis' practice squad last season. He even saw an opportunity to join the active roster as a COVID-19 replacement, but he wasn't called upon to take the field. The 2020 UDFA will now hope to secure an opportunity elsewhere.

Anderson landed a reserve/future contract with the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will likely serve as a depth option at running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines in the upcoming season. The 23-year-old has yet to see his first NFL snap but will hopefully get the opportunity to in the 2021 campaign.

Anderson was elevated from the Colts' practice squad Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson joins the roster as a COVID-19 replacement for Jordan Wilkins. He'll work as the No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines in the wild-card round Saturday in Buffalo, but Anderson's unlikely to see significant game action barring an injury to Taylor or Hines.

Anderson was elevated from the Colts' practice squad Sunday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old back from TCU is slated for a potential NFL debut in the Colts' regular-season finale after Jordan Wilkins was moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday afternoon. Anderson is expected to slot in as a depth option at running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines for Sunday's divisional tilt.
