Texans awarded 2 players off waivers among other roster moves

Talent evaluation and roster acquisition doesn’t stop simply because the NFL draft is over and free agency has dried up.

The Houston Texans were busy on Monday with a bevy of roster transactions — including the signings of rookies Kenyon Green and John Metchie.

Houston waived defensive backs Reggie Robinson and Kolby Harvell-Peel. For Harvell-Peel, according to Aaron Wilson of the Pro Football Network, if he goes unclaimed off waivers, the former Oklahoma State Cowboy reverts to injured reserve.

The Texans also put in waiver claims of their own and were awarded defensive back Kendall Sheffield from the Atlanta Falcons and receiver Connor Wedington from the San Francisco 49ers.

Sheffield played in 38 games for the Falcons over the past three seasons, starting in 20 of them. The former fourth-round pick from Ohio State generated 101 combined tackles, two forced fumbles, and six pass breakups in his time with Atlanta.

Wedington, a former Stanford product, spent time with the 49ers on their practice squad in 2021 after going undrafted.
