The Texans released Smith (ankle) from injured reserve Monday. Smith was injured during the preseason and sent to injured reserve. The veteran tight end will now have a chance to look for an opportunity elsewhere.
-
The Texans placed Smith (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday. Smith is dealing with an ankle sprain, which he may have picked up during the Texans' preseason finale against the Lions on Saturday. He was placed on IR without a designation to return, meaning he'll be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Texans.

Smith has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Wilson adds that Smith could be placed on injured reserve. The tight end played 34 offensive snaps this preseason and secured all six of his targets for 52 yards.

Smith caught all five targets for a team-high 46 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Carolina. Smith wasn't in the starting lineup, and none of his activity came during the first quarter, when Houston's offensive stars were primarily involved. Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover opened the game at tight end, before Smith showed off his hands. That he was featured heavily in the second and third quarters was a direct result of two significant injuries that cropped up during the week of preparation for Saturday's contest. Both Brevin Jordan (knee) and Dalton Keene (leg) sustained season-ending injuries, which benefitted Smith. A once promising tight end early in his career with the Vikings, Smith is poised to be third on the depth chart for a newly constructed offense that is expected to use multiple tight end sets.
-
Smith (hand) returned to practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports. Smith, who missed two days of practice this week, got healthy just in time for Saturday's preseason tilt against Carolina. It's a good time for him to be healthy, as the Texans lost a pair of tight ends this week to season-ending injuries -- Brevin Jordan (knee) and Dalton Keene (leg).
