The Texans waived Wayne (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. In a corresponding move, the Texans inked veteran running back Cam Akers. The nature and severity of Wayne's injury is unclear at this point, but he'll likely need to be back on the field soon in order to try and make a 53-man roster.

Latest Texans News
Jared Wayne : Dropped by Houston
The Texans waived Wayne (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. In a corresponding move, the Texans inked veteran running back Cam Akers. The nature and severity of Wayne's injury is unclear at this point, but he'll likely need to be back on the field soon in order to try and make a 53-man roster.
Joe Mixon : Missing practice
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Mixon (undisclosed) will not practice and could miss a few days but "will be fine," Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Mixon hasn't practiced the last two days, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, but it doesn't appear that he's facing a long absence. It remains undisclosed whether Mixon is dealing with an illness or injury, or whether his absence is of a personal nature, but in the meantime Dameon Pierce figures to handle the bulk of the first-team reps, while Dare Ogunbowale, Jawhar Jordan and new backfield addition Cam Akers (Achilles) also could benefit from increased opportunities.
Cam Akers : Signs with Texans
Akers (Achilles) and the Texans agreed on a contract Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Akers worked out for Houston on Sunday, and the team must've seen enough from the running back, inking him to a contract ahead of their training camp beginning Tuesday. The 25-year-old suffered the second Achilles tear of his career in November, and it's unclear how close he is to being ready for full contact at practice.
Christian Harris : Dealing with leg injury
Harris has missed the team's last three practices due to a soft-tissue leg injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The second-year linebacker was a revelation for Houston in the latter half of the team's playoff campaign, as Harris tallied 75 tackles, 2.0 sacks and an interception in his final nine games including the playoffs. While the lack of specific details regarding the injury is noteworthy, it doesn't sound as if the team expects Harris to be limited entering Week 1 come early September.
Dameon Pierce : Encouraging start to camp
Pierce has shown improvement in the first days of training camp, John Harris of the Texans' official site reports. Pierce struggled to produce last season in a new offensive scheme and eventually lost his starting job to Devin Singletary. The new outside zone scheme required reading the defense to dictate where the back goes, which was different from the power-gap scheme, where backs can predetermine where they want to go. During the first two days of camp, Pierce has shown improved patience and decision-making after getting the ball. With Singletary gone, the Texans added Joe Mixon, who is expected to be the lead back in 2024, but Pierce could make this a 1-2 punch in the backfield.
Laremy Tunsil : Easing into practice
Tunsil is being eased into training camp practices after undergoing offseason arthroscopic knee surgery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports. Tunsil is fully healthy, but the team is taking a prudent approach. Blake Fisher, a 2024 second-round draft pick that will serve as a swing tackle during the regular season, is filling for Tunsil on the first-team offense.
Jaxon Janke : Reverts to IR
Janke (undisclosed) reverted to the Texans' injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jaxon joined Houston as an undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State. He is now slated to miss his entire rookie campaign due to an undisclosed injury. That is, if both parties fail to reach an injury settlement once his health is back up to par.
Jarrett Patterson : Competing for starting role
Patterson (lower leg) is in the running for a potential starting role at left guard for the 2024 season, Sean Pendergast of Houston Press reports. Presumably, Patterson has made a full recovery from the fractured fibula he sustained in October of last year and is back to participating in full during practice sessions. If healthy, 2022 first-rounder Kenyon Green is most likely to get the nod to start at left guard for the upcoming campaign, with Kendrick Green also in the running.
