EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, the Texans inked veteran running back Cam Akers. The nature and severity of Wayne's injury is unclear at this point, but assuming he clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve, meaning he'd miss the entire season barring an injury settlement.

The Texans signed Wayne to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne was placed on Houston's practice squad injured list in early December but is evidently healthy enough to sign a deal and go into the offseason with the Texans. Undrafted out of Pittsburgh in 2023, he spent most of the season on Houston's practice squad after failing to catch a pass during the preseason.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne joined the team this spring as an undrafted free agent out of Pitt, but he missed time in camp due to a leg injury, which may have derailed his quest to make the 53-man roster. According to Wilson, the 22-year-old is a strong candidate to find his way onto Houston's practice squad.

Wayne (hamstring) will be out for a couple of weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wayne was unable to practice Saturday due to a reported leg injury; however, he is currently suffering from a grade-two strain of his hamstring. The undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh will now focus on getting healthy, so he can return to trying to earn a roster spot.

Wayne didn't practice Saturday due to a leg injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

A rookie UDFA out of Pittsburgh, Wayne played 16 snaps (12 offensive) during Thursday's preseason win over the Patriots and caught his only target for 19 yards. However, the 6-foot-3 wideout presumably tweaked his leg during the contest and will miss some time. If he doesn't return to practice over the next few days, Wayne likely won't be able to suit up for next Saturday's exhibition against the Dolphins.

Houston is expected to sign Wayne as an undrafted free agent, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 6-foot-3 wideout recorded 47 receptions for 658 yards and a career-high six touchdowns for the Panthers as a Junior while operating as the No. 2 option behind Jordan Addison. However, after his breakout campaign, Addison opted to transfer to USC, so Wayne saw an increased role during the 2022-23 campaign and caught 60 passes for 1,062 yards and five touchdowns. He's a long shot to make the Texans' initial 53-man roster, but he'll still get a chance to compete for a spot with a litany of newcomers in Houston's revamped wideout room.
