The Texans have signed former Sam Houston State All-American wide receiver Davion Davis off of the Cleveland Browns' practice squad, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
The Texans lost two players off their practice squad with offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt joining the Browns' active roster and offensive lineman Ryan McCollum joining the Detroit Lions' active roster, according to league sources.
Davis (5-foot-11, 195 pounds) caught 52 passes for 569 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior. He had 76 catches for 1,206 yards and 17 touchdowns as a junior and was named the Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
Davis joined the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent two years ago. He was signed to their practice squad then promoted to their active roster and appeared in two games.
He signed with the Browns in July and missed two games for a suspension before being reinstated, waived and then signed to their practice squad.
