Samuels was waived by Arizona on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This move comes immediately after the Cardinals officially announced the signing of running back Darrel Williams. Samuels signed a reserve/future contract with Arizona in January after playing just 16 offensive snaps over three games with the Texans in 2021. His five carries for nine rushing yards last season were also both career lows for the fifth-year running back.

The Cardinals signed Samuels to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The running back finished the 2021 campaign with the Texans after being released by the Steelers in late October, but he will now be joining the Cardinals for the 2022 season. Samuels appeared in three games with the Texans this season, rushing the ball five times for nine yards while reeling in three catches for 14 yards.

Samuels reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Samuels touched the ball on six of the nine offensive snaps he played. He also played nine snaps on special teams.

Samuels had three carries for seven yards and caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the 49ers.

Samuels was elevated to the Texans' active roster from the practice squad Saturday for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston report.

EDGE Analysis

Samuels was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samuel's move to the active roster may be a bad sign for David Johnson's (quadriceps) availability Sunday against the Chargers. The former Steeler has appeared in one game for the Texans this season, in Week 13 against the Colts, where he played seven snaps on offense. Samuels did receive two carries and earned two yards. He'll likely be looking to provide depth at running back if Johnson sits this one out.

Samuels (undisclosed) was activated from the practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samuels reverts to Houston's practice squad now that he has cleared COVID-19 protocols. It's possible the team will elevate him before Sunday's game against the Chargers, as David Johnson has been unable to practice due to a quadriceps injury, leaving only Rex Burkhead and Royce Freeman as the healthy running backs on the roster.

Samuels (undisclosed) was placed on the Texans' practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Samuels is fresh off his Texans debut in Week 13 against the Colts. He played seven snaps and had two carries for two years and a target he couldn't haul in. He was reverted back to the practice squad on Dec. 6 and will now try to clear COVID protocols as he looks to earn another shot with the active roster.
