The Texans signed Littleton to their active roster from New Orleans' practice squad Wednesday. Littleton originally signed with the Texans in March, but he was let go in mid-October. Houston re-signed him a week later only to release him again after a few days. Littleton subsequently joined New Orleans' practice squad, but he's now back with the Texans. The veteran linebacker has played in seven total games this year, with most of his work coming on special teams. All 16 of his defensive snaps came in Week 1, when he notched one tackle against Baltimore.

The Texans released Littleton on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The move corresponds with defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway returning from IR.

The Texans re-signed Littleton to the team's 53-man roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Houston let go of Littleton last week in order to add Myjai Sanders to its active roster, but it now seems as if the team has found an open spot for the 29-year-old linebacker. Littleton has appeared in 116 games throughout his eight-year NFL career, recording 543 total tackles, 27 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks, along with earning second-team All-Pro honors in 2018.

Littleton is signing a one-year contract worth up to $2.7 million with Houston on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Littleton appeared in 15 games with the Panthers last season, recording his lowest tackle total (47) since 2018. The 29-year-old seems likely to handle a similar depth role with Houston in 2023, meaning he would carry minimal fantasy value in IDP formats.

Littleton (ankle) logged a full practice Friday. Littleton looks geared up to return to the field Sunday versus the Steelers after missing the last few games while nursing an ankle injury. With Brandon Smith (ankle) ruled out, Littleton could see a few extra defensive snaps in Week 15.
