Overview

• The Texans added undrafted rookie Zion Childress off the Cowboys’ practice squad, a move that required placing him on the active roster.
• M.J. Stewart is listed as the immediate starting safety next to Calen Bullock on Houston’s unofficial depth chart following C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s release.
• Derek Stingley Jr. is day-to-day with an oblique injury, and rookie Jaylin Smith is on injured reserve with a hamstring issue.
• Veteran Jimmie Ward was cleared legally and removed from the commissioner’s exempt list, yet he remains on the PUP list after offseason foot surgery.
• Childress, a Houston native who worked out for the Texans pre-draft, had two standard elevations with Dallas and recorded one special-teams tackle.
