Luke Lachey: Everything you need to know

The Packers claimed Lachey off waivers Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Lachey is headed to Green Bay after having been waived by the Texans on Monday. The 24-year-old will look to earn a spot on the Packers' final roster and make his regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.

The Texans waived Lachey on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Lachey was waived by the Texans last August before signing a reserve/future contract with the team in late January. The tight end will once again be culled to preserve roster spots, as the Texans signed running back Evan Hull in a corresponding move. Lachey will become a free agent if he clears waivers.

The Texans signed Lachey to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Selected by the Texans in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Lachey spent his entire rookie season on Houston's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster, but he'll be part of the Texans' 90-man roster for the offseason and will be eligible to participate in OTAs in minicamp.
