Amendola (knee) has been designated to return from IR.

EDGE Analysis

The Texans now have a 21-day window in which to activate the slot man, but if he's able to demonstrate that he's ready for game action in the coming days, he could step into key role this Sunday against the Chargers in the event that Brandin Cooks (illness) isn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Amendola, who last suited up Week 12, has recorded 17 catches (on 29 targets) for 135 yards and a TD in seven contests to date this season.
