Texans Sign Jalen Mills, Place Rookie Jaylen Reed on IR Ahead of Chiefs Game

Houston reshapes its secondary after injuries thinned depth at safety.

Overview

  • Veteran defensive back Jalen Mills was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, the team announced Saturday.
  • Rookie safety Jaylen Reed was placed on injured reserve with a surgically repaired forearm in his second IR stint, which ends his season.
  • Myles Bryant is expected to take the starting safety role for Sunday night in Kansas City, with Mills projected as the backup.
  • Cornerback Alijah Huzzie and defensive tackle Haggai Ndubuisi were elevated from the practice squad for the Chiefs game.
  • Depth concerns date to M.J. Stewart’s season-ending torn quadriceps in Week 10, and cornerback Kamari Lassiter is listed as questionable with a foot injury.
