The Texans reverted Wayne to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 8 matchup against San Francisco, as both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) were unable to suit up. Wayne ended up logging 35 of the Texans' 80 offensive snaps (third-most among Houston's wideout corps) and caught both of his targets for 20 yards. Wayne's likelihood of being elevated again for Week 9 versus Denver could depend on whether Collins and/or Kirk is able to return to action.

Wayne caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne was elevated from the practice squad due to both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) being unavailable. He played 35 snaps, third-most among the wideouts, and recorded the first two receptions of his career after seeing action in three games during the regular season and one playoff game in 2024. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad on two more occasions this season while Collins and Kirk work their way back to full health.

The Texans on Saturday elevated Wayne to the active roster for Week 8 against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne will join Houston's active roster, which will be without both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom were ruled out. Wayne is expected to serve as the fifth wideout on the depth chart behind Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and Braxton Berrios.

The Texans signed Wayne from their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old from Pittsburgh adds much-needed depth to the Texans' receiving corps, as Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) are both dealing with injuries. Wayne appeared in three games with the Texans in 2024, failing to record an offensive stat over 64 total snaps (40 on offense, 24 on special teams). Now back with the active roster, he's likely to contribute on both offense and special teams in Houston's Week 8 matchup against the 49ers.

Houston signed Wayne to its practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne was waived by Houston in early August but didn't latch on a with a different team. Instead he's reuniting with the Texans, with whom he got into three regular-season games last year. Wayne also logged 10 offensive snaps in the team's AFC divisional-round playoff loss to the Chiefs.

The Texans waived Wanye on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne had been working through a hamstring issue, but because he wasn't waived with an injury designation, he'll be free to sign with a team once he clears waivers rather than reverting to the Texans' injured reserve. He played 64 snaps (40 on offense, 24 on special teams) across three regular-season games in 2024 but did not accrue any other stats.

Wayne (hamstring) did not practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne is competing for one of the final spots at wide receiver in Houston. In 2024, Wayne appeared in three regular-season games and then the Texans' playoff loss to the Chiefs. He didn't see a target during the regular season but did draw two of them versus Kansas City, failing to catch either one.

Wayne failed to catch either of his two targets in Saturday's 23-14 divisional-round playoff loss to Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne, who was recently added to the active roster, was on the field for 24 snaps, the most in his four games played during the regular season and playoffs. He's eligible to sign a reserve/future contract and could be around for offseason training activities and training camp in preparation for the 2025 season.

The Texans signed Wayne off their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne takes the 53-man roster spot vacated by Diontae Johnson, whom Houston cut earlier Tuesday. Wayne has been elevated numerous times already this season, appearing in three regular-season contests. He didn't catch a single pass on 40 offensive snaps, however, and is unlikely to see much playing time on offense as the Texans' fifth receiver behind Nico Collins, John Metchie, Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson.

The Texans reverted Wayne to their practice squad Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne was elevated for the second straight week ahead of Wednesday's loss to Baltimore and logged 16 offensive snaps without receiving a target. He's now been elevated three total times this season, so the Texans would need to sign Wayne to their active roster in order for him to play Week 18 against Tennessee. However, players can be elevated from the practice squad an unlimited number of times during the postseason.
