The Steelers plan to sign Woods, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woods is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded 20 catches (on 30 targets) for 203 yards and zero touchdowns in 15 contests for the Texans. With the Steelers, the 33-year-old will add experience and depth to a wideout corps currently led by DK Metcalf and George Pickens, with Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson, among others, also in the mix for targets.

Woods was not targeted and did not attempt a punt return in Saturday's 23-14 divisional-round loss to the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Woods battled a hip injury all week but was deemed available, though he may not have been 100 percent. The 32-year-old wideout was on the field for just six offensive snaps and twice while on special teams. Woods spent much of the regular season as a depth receiver and only recently was elevated to the top three after season-ending injuries to Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee). Woods finished the regular season with 20 catches on 30 targets for 203 yards and zero touchdowns, the lowest productivity across his 12 NFL seasons. Woods enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Woods (hip) is active for Saturday's divisional-round game at Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Woods was held out of practice all week due to a hip injury, but it won't stop him from being available for the Texans' second playoff outing. In three contests since Tank Dell (torn ACL) joined Stefon Diggs (torn ACL) as out for the season, Woods has hauled in exactly two passes in each of the last three games for a 6-82-0 line on nine targets.

Woods (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Woods was listed as a non-participant in practice Tuesday through Thursday, which clouds his status for the Texans' 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff Saturday. If Woods is unavailable versus Kansas City, added snaps would be available for John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson behind top wideout Nico Collins.

Woods (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With back-to-back 'DNPs' Tuesday and Wednesday in the books, Thursday's session should loom large with regard to Woods' chances of playing in Saturday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs. If the veteran wideout is limited or out this weekend, added snaps behind top option Nico Collins would be freed up for John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson.

Woods (hip) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Woods logged 51 percent of the offensive snaps in last Saturday's wild-card win over the Chargers, finishing with a 2-22-0 receiving line on four targets. With Woods dinged up and the Texans cutting Diontae Johnson earlier Tuesday, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson could be in line for even bigger roles behind Nico Collins in Saturday's divisional-round tilt against the Chiefs.

Woods caught two of four targets for 22 yards and returned one punt for 10 yards in Houston's 32-12 win over the Chargers in Saturday's wild-card round game.

EDGE Analysis

Woods was part of the Texans' top three wideouts, had a red-zone target, and was on the field for 37 snaps. That snap count tied him with John Metchie behind Nico Collins' 64. Largely an irrelevant figure on game days for much of the season, Woods' profile rose with the injuries to Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee). The 35-year-old finished the regular season with career lows in catches (20) and yards (203) while never breaking out his touchdown dance for the first time in his 12 NFL seasons. He'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it's unlikely a team will sign him to be any more than a depth piece/returner at this stage of his career. Woods accepted his role as veteran mentor in Houston and could always return to the Texans.

Woods caught two of three targets for a team-high 39 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over Tennessee in Week 18.

EDGE Analysis

Woods received extra playing time as the Texans limited Nico Collins in the regular-season finale. Houston heads into the postseason with season-ending injuries to key contributors at wide receiver -- Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) -- and an uncertain status for John Metchie (concussion). Whether Metchie is available or not for next Saturday's home playoff game against the Chargers, Woods will be part of the top three wideouts. The 32-year-old Woods finished the regular season with career lows in receptions (20), targets (30), yards (203) and catches of more than 20 yards (one).

Woods caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to Baltimore in Week 17.

EDGE Analysis

Woods had the fourth-most snaps (21) among wide receivers, as the return of John Metchie from a shoulder injury pushed the 12-year veteran further down the depth chart. The Texans will operate without both Tank Dell (knee) and Stefon Diggs (knee) for the regular-season finale and through the postseason, when Woods' experience could be useful.

Woods caught three of six targets for 19 yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.

EDGE Analysis

Woods was on the field for a season-high 34 offensive snaps, a bump in activity due to an injury to Tank Dell (kneecap). The Texans have clinched a playoff spot but will be without Stefon Diggs (knee) and potentially Dell in the postseason, which creates an opportunity for Woods. It should be noted that John Metchie (shoulder) was inactive for Saturday's game; he moved ahead of Woods on the depth chart as a result of the Diggs' injury in Week 8.
