The Texans signed Averett (undisclosed) to the practice squad Monday. Averett was cut from the Steelers' practice squad Oct. 28 with an injury designation, but he appears to be healthy enough to join Houston's practice squad ahead of their wild-card game against the Chargers on Saturday. Averett last saw NFL regular-season action in 2022 with the Raiders, during which he logged 13 tackles (12 solo) and one pass defense across seven games.

Anthony Averett: Breaking News
The Steelers cut Averett (undisclosed) from their practice squad Monday with an injury designation, per the NFL's transaction log. Averett wasn't on the Steelers' practice squad injured list; however, it appears he's dealing with some undisclosed issue after being cut Monday. The 29-year-old cornerback must now prove that he's returned to full health again before signing with another team.
The Steelers released Averett (hamstring) on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Pittsburgh originally brought Averett on board back in May, but as the regular season approaches, it's decided to part ways with him. Averett will have to look for another opportunity elsewhere.
