Texans’ Andre Roberts: Forced into duty
Andre Roberts caught one of two targets for 35 yards in Sunday’s 31-21 loss to Cleveland.Roberts has played fewer than 200 offensive snaps in each season since 2016, but he was forced into action Sunday after injuries to Nico Collins (shoulder) and Danny Amendola (hamstring). This is the byproduct of carrying five running backs on the 53-man roster; the Houston Texans only have six players listed as wide receivers, even though Roberts is really a return specialist. Collins and Amendola joined Anthony Miller, who was healthy but inactive after dealing with a shoulder injury during the preseason, on the sidelines, forcing Houston offensive coordinator Tim Kelly to adapt.

Texans’ Andre Roberts: Signs on with Houston
Andre Roberts is signing a two-year contract with the Houston Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.The contract reportedly is worth up to $5.95 million, though some of that may be in unlikely-to-be-earned incentives. Roberts primarily has served as a return specialist throughout the second half of his career, reaching the Pro Bowl three straight seasons from 2018 to 2020. It’s an odd luxury signing for a team that otherwise seems to be rebuilding, unless the team for some reason thinks Roberts can reemerge as a receiving threat in his age-33 campaign.
