Texans bring back two recently cut players before Titans game

Myles Bryant and J.J. Taylor are leaving the Houston Texans after all.

According to the team’s transaction report, Taylor and Bryant are being signed back to the practice squad before Sunday’s showdown against the Tennesse Titans.

In a corresponding move, the Texans released offensive lineman Cam Erving and defensive end Rashad Weaver.

Both Taylor and Bryant saw action for the Texans due to injury. Bryant, a former starter for the New England Patriots, shifted inside to the nickel position once Jalen Pitre was asked to play safety.

He recorded four tackles in six games. Most recently, Bryant was a healthy scratch in back-to-back games before being released on Monday prior to the Texans’ Week 11 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

As for Taylor, he’s bounced around from the practice squad to the active roster this season. He played in five games before being waived on Monday, totaling 10 carries for 44 yards.

The Texans let go of both players to make room for defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. and cornerback Jeff Okudah.

Houston (7-4) takes on Tennessee (2-8) at NRG Stadium this Sunday at noon CT.
