Smith scored a 19-yard rushing touchdown on his only touch in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Smith delivered New York's only points of the game on an end-around. He's still buried deep down the wide receiver depth chart, but Smith likely earned himself a larger role moving forward by making the most of his opportunity here.

The Jets signed Smith off the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith suited up in seven games for the Texans last season. He wasn't used often on special teams, while his offense was limited to five catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. However, he did have two catches of over 20 yards, and Smith should add solid depth if Demaryius Thomas (knee/hamstring) misses additional time.

The Texans signed Smith to their practice squad Sunday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was let go as part of the final cuts Saturday and rejoins the team he played for as a rookie in 2018. He made the Texans last season as an undrafted free agent and caught five passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. If Keke Coutee's ankle injury lingers, Smith could find his way back to the 53-man roster.

Smith was waived by Houston on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith appeared in seven games for Houston last season, catching five passes for 91 yards and a touchdown over 179 snaps. The 23-year-old will have to look for another opportunity elsewhere in the league.

Smith hauled in a 31-yard touchdown pass from Joe Webb in Saturday's preseason Week 2 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The touchdown was Smith's lone catch on four targets. He got the start alongside DeAndre Hopkins and DeAndre Carter, with Will Fuller sitting out and Keke Coutee (ankle) unavailable. If the Texans suffer injuries at wideout this season, Smith and Carter are the leading candidates to fill in.

Smith is making a good impression on Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports. "[Smith]'s a guy who has improved mentally, physically, just all-around," Watson said. "He's been doing a great job. He's handled every challenge."

EDGE Analysis

Smith caught on with Houston as an undrafted rookie last season, handling a top-three role for Week 17 and the playoffs after Demaryius Thomas suffered a torn Achilles. The team should have better injury luck with its wide receivers in 2019, but Smith will at least be in the mix for the fourth spot on the depth chart, competing against DeAndre Carter and a slew of other young, undrafted players. Houston might still consider adding a veteran, given that Will Fuller (knee) and Keke Coutee combined for just 13 appearances last season.

Smith did not catch either of his two targets in Saturday's 21-7 wild-card round loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Smith filled in for the injured Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) and played 90 percent of the offensive snaps, but was largely avoided after failing to come up with a catchable deep ball in the first quarter. The 2018 undrafted free agent made a couple of plays this season but was inactive most weeks, playing only when injuries hit. In an ideal world, the Texans will have Will Fuller (knee) available in 2019 and won't have to rely on someone like Smith, who is under contract through 2020.

Smith caught three of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's depleted wideout corps has given Smith an opportunity. He played 65 of 77 snaps (84 percent) has a fill-in for the injured Demariyus Thomas (Achilles). Thomas will not be available for next Saturday's playoff game against the Colts, and Keke Coutee (hamstring) is questionable, so Smith could play an important role in the playoffs.

Smith caught his lone target for a 35-yard touchdown catch in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Smith made a remarkable catch, getting both knees down in bounds before sliding out the back of the end zone to give Houston a lead late. It was Smith's first career touchdown and second career reception. The unheralded rookie from Limestone College (South Carolina) was in the game because Demaryius Thomas left due to an Achilles injury. Adding Thomas to the injury pile, already occupied by Keke Coutee (hamstring), who missed a fourth straight game, means Smith and DeAndre Carter take on significance for Houston in Week 17 against Jacksonville and beyond into the postseason.

Smith is a coach's decision inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was active for Houston's last two games, playing 11 snaps and not catching a pass. He appears to be last on the team's wide receiver depth chart. The Texans picked up DeAndre Carter two weeks ago and are giving him the nod in place of Smith.
