Jawhar Jordan is back with the Houston Texans.
The Texans signed the rookie running back to the practice squad Tuesday after previously reaching an injury settlement with him for an oblique injury.
Houston also released defensive end Rashad Weaver from the 53-man roster and offensive lineman Arlington Hambright from the practice squad. This means a roster spot is open for a player to either be added via trade or removed from the injured reserve.

Cornerback Jeff Okudah and linebacker Christian Harris seem to be the prime suspects to be added later this week as Houston returns to NRG Stadium for its Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
A sixth-round pick out of Louisville in 2024, Jordan was expected to compete for the third-down back role and the return game during training camp. Fully healthy, the 5-foot-9 runner could be elevated to the active roster should the Texans need help on punt returns with Robert Woods and Steven Sims sidelined.
During his final year with the Cardinals, Jordan rushed for 1,128 yards and led the ACC with 13 touchdowns.
