The Texans waived Mitchell on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell appeared in six games with the Texans last season, while also spending time on the team's practice squad. In those six appearances, he caught five of eight targets for 60 yards while also playing 18 snaps on special teams. He'll search for a similar depth role elsewhere in the league.

Mitchell caught his lone target for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell, primarily a denizen of Houston's practice squad, was made active for the sixth straight game. He was summoned to the active roster after injuries and personnel decisions thinned the wideout corps. Mitchell, who becomes a free agent during the offseason, spent parts of the last three seasons with Houston, mostly on the practice squad, so he has institutional knowledge. However, that knowledge may not mean much moving forward, as the franchise will be hiring a new general manager and head coach.

The Texans signed Mitchell to their active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has recorded four receptions for 40 yards across five games on Houston's active roster this season. He will help provide depth at receiver in the team's final game of the season.

Mitchell reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell only garnered two offensive snaps during Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Bengals, but he was targeted on each of them, totaling one reception for two yards. Brandin Cooks ate up 10 targets, accumulating seven receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown. Otherwise, Keke Coutee (five targets) and Chad Hansen (three) were the only wideouts aside from Mitchell to receive any looks in the passing game.

The Texans elevated Mitchell to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After logging 92 percent of the snaps on offense in Week 14, Mitchell played just one snap against the Colts in last Sunday's loss. There's no indication of how much Mitchell will play against the Bengals this week.

Mitchell reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell contributed three catches for 38 yards Week 14 against the Bears while filling in for an injury and suspension-depleted Texans receiving corps, but he went untargeted on just one offensive snap in his Week 15 follow up at Indianapolis. Chad Hansen and Isaiah Coulter remain the Texans' depth options at wide receiver behind current top targets Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee.

The Texans elevated Mitchell to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has been called upon in each of Houston's last three games, and he played 92 percent of offensive snaps against the Bears last weekend while securing three of five targets for 38 yards. With Brandin Cooks (neck) having been cleared to retake the field, though, Mitchell seems primed to revert to a depth role.

Mitchell reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell led all Houston wide receivers with 61 offensive snaps during Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Bears, recording three catches for 38 yards over five targets. With Brandin Cooks (foot/neck) having a chance to return from injury to face Indianapolis in Week 15, there's a strong possibility we see Mitchell's involvement take a significant dip if he is, in fact, activated once again.

Mitchell was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the receiver has yet to see a target this season, he has played in 14 offensive snaps throughout his two games. With Randall Cobb (toe) and Will Fuller (suspension) out and Brandin Cooks (foot/neck) and Keke Coutee (knee) both listed as questionable, the practice squad callup may finally draw in a target, though it's probable Chad Hansen also gets called up later Saturday.

Interim coach Romeo Crennel said Friday that he expects to elevate Mitchell from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Bears, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has suited up for Houston's last two games, but he hasn't drawn a target while playing 14 offensive snaps in that span. Fellow practice squad wideout Chad Hansen, who is also expected to bump up for Sunday's game, has been substantially more impressive. Hansen had 101 yards on five catches last weekend.
