Houston Texans re-sign talented tight end Jerell Adams to practice squad
By Jair Lopez
The Houston Texans brought jerell Adams back to the roster as one of their players on the practice squad.
Jerell Adams spent a short amount of time as a free agent as he re-signed to the Houston Texans’ practice squad. Selected in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, Adams spent his first two seasons in the Big Apple. Adams started in three of the 29 games he played with the Giants before being released and joining the Texans.
Adams makes a return to the Texans practice squad after having a previous stint in 2018, where he offered enough upside for the Texans to agree to sign him to a future/reserve contract to remain in Houston.
With a talented pool of players at tight end, Adams was on the outside looking in before the start of training camp, but he had an impressive string of performances through the preseason. Adams finished with ten receptions for 86 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Adams earned a spot on the 53 man roster but was inactive in the first four weeks of the regular season. Texans will be moving forward with Darren Fells, Jordan Akins, and Logan Paulsen at the tight end position. However, he is a viable option to return to the active roster in case of an injury occurring at tight end. Texans are without Jordan Thomas and Kahale Warring for the first eight weeks of the season after placing them on the injured reserve.
Texans announced the release of outside linebacker Wyatt Ray from the practice squad to open up a spot for Adams.
