Jakob Johnson: Everything you need to know

Johnson signed with Houston's practice squad Wednesday. Johnson had been on Houston's active roster prior to being waived Monday. After going unclaimed on waivers, the fullback is back in the organization. The Texans could opt to elevate Johnson on game days, leaving his role functionally the same as it was when he was on the active roster.

The Texans waived Johnson on Monday. Johnson has been let go by the Texans despite being the lone fullback on the roster. He should garner interest from teams in need of blocking out of the backfield, though he could opt to remain in Houston as a member of the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans. Johnson is active and ready to suit up for his first game since Week 3 against the Jaguars, where he suffered a hamstring injury that placed him on injured reserve. The starting fullback's presence should improve the Texans' special teams unit as well as provide an extra blocker out of the backfield for a rushing attack comprising Nick Chubb and Woody Marks. The addition should be especially potent against the divisional rival Titans, who rank 24th in rush yards allowed with 1,272 on the season.
