The club announced Tuesday the signing of the defensive end from the practice squad to the active roster.

Rivers, 29, has not played for the Texans in a regular season game since Dec. 19, 2021 in Week 15 at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rivers collected 1.0 sack, two tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, and three tackles as the Texans prevailed 30-16 at TIAA Bank Field.

The former New England Patriots 2017 third-round pick missed all of last season with a torn biceps sustained in preseason. Going from the practice squad to the active roster in Week 2 could be the start of retribution for lost time.
