Stover made the Texans' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Stover's healthy status likely played a role in his winning a roster spot, as the Texans waived/injured fellow tight end Teagan Quitoriano (calf) and released fullback/tight end Andrew Beck, who was dogged by a calf injury during the preseason. Stover currently lines up as the third tight end behind Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan.
