Texans wide receiver Noah Brown was activated off injured reserve on Saturday for Sunday’s game against the visiting New Orleans Saints.
Brown, 27, was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 13 with a groin injury. On Wednesday, he was designated to return from IR, opening up a three-week window for Brown to practice with the team before being added to the 53-man roster.
Brown participated in three full practices this week.
He hasn’t played in a game since he had three receptions for 20 yards in Week 1 at Baltimore. Brown played 52 snaps in the 25-9 loss to the Ravens.
Selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, Brown signed with the Texans as a free agent this past offseason. He had a career-best 43 receptions for 555 yards as the Cowboys’ No. 2 wide receiver in 2022.
In total, Brown has 85 receptions for 1,000 yards in 67 games (18 starts) with the Cowboys and Texans.
The Texans also elevated cornerback D’Angelo Ross, 26, from the practice squad to the active roster, and waived rookie cornerback Alex Austin, 22, from the active roster on Saturday.
