The Houston Texans executed a pair of roster adjustments on Friday to reshape their active depth chart.
The team announced the acquisition of wide receiver and return specialist Nikko Remigio off of waivers, according to Yahoo Sports.
Remigio became available earlier this week after the Kansas City Chiefs opted to release the player.
The move provides the Texans with a versatile option in the return game for the remainder of the current season.
During his tenure with the Chiefs, the fourth-year professional demonstrated consistent production on special teams assignments.
Statistical data indicates that Remigio averaged 26.5 yards per kick return and 5.6 yards per punt return during his time in Kansas City, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
To accommodate the new addition, Houston made a corresponding move on the roster.
The organization officially released veteran running back Dare Ogunbowale.
Because the NFL trading deadline has already passed, the veteran is now subject to the league’s waiver process, per the report from Yahoo Sports.
The transaction marks a significant change for the Texans’ backfield and return rotation.
Coaching staff members have not yet provided specific comments regarding how Remigio will be integrated into the game plan for upcoming matchups.
The team continues to evaluate its roster depth as the season progresses into its later stages.
Management remains focused on optimizing special teams performance through these strategic personnel shifts.
Players released after the deadline are subject to specific league regulations regarding their availability to other organizations.
The Texans are expected to continue monitoring the waiver wire for potential depth improvements as the year unfolds.
Further updates regarding the team’s roster status will be provided by the organization as they become available.
