The Houston Texans continue to get stronger as each day of training camp passes.
The club announced Sunday that inside linebacker Dylan Cole and receiver Kenny Stills passed their physicals and have been placed on the active roster.
Cole started off training camp on the physically unable to perform list. The former 2017 undrafted free agent from Missouri State was recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained in Week 12 when the Texans beat the Indianapolis Colts 20-17 on Thursday Night Football. The Texans re-signed Cole to a one-year contract worth $2.1 million in the offseason.
Stills was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list to start camp, and quarterback Deshaun Watson was looking forward to getting the eighth-year receiver back in the fold.
“Kenny is a big piece of our offense,” Watson said. “He can do so many different things. He can play inside, outside. His experience, his IQ, and just his leadership. I’ve been working with Kenny all summer so once he gets back rolling and able to get on the field with us, he’s definitely going to be right where we left off last year and even more. He’s been around, he’s been encouraging everyone who has been able to practice. He’s been working hard to get back on the field.”
With their roster ready to practice, the Texans can get even more prepared to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 10 to start the season.
