Houston Texans Activate Offensive Tackle Braden Smith From Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans announced on Wednesday that they have activated offensive tackle Braden Smith from injured reserve. Smith had been sidelined since placing on the list ahead of Week 1 due to a foot injury, returning to practice last week. A 2018 second-round pick who spent his first eight seasons with the Colts, Smith's return bolsters the Houston line. His activation leaves wide receiver Tank Dell as the only remaining Texans player currently in the return-to-play process.
