The Texansreleased veteran offensive tackle Roderick Johnson after activating him from the reserve-COVID-19 list.
Johnson was signed to a one-year contract this offseason, but had fallen behind former Washington Football Team offensive tackle Geron Christian on the depth chart.
Johnson, 25, played last season under a one year, $1.75 million contract.
Johnson is a former Cleveland Browns third round draft pick from Florida State.
He played in every game for the Texans in 2019 with three starts. Last season, the former All-ACC selection played in 12 games with three starts as he played 25 percent of the offensive snaps overall, 245 snaps in total.
