"While several players were designated to return from injured reserve today, Norton and Johnson's designations took place back on 8/26, the roster cut deadline. The Texans are in danger of being without their top three receivers in Week 8. Tank Dell is already on IR, but Nico Collins and Christian Kirk's statuses for the weekend are up in the air as Collins deals with a concussion and Kirk has been dealing with n hamstring injury."
"Not that they've needed him, since Aaron Rodgers has looked a bit more effective than he was in his days with the Jets, but Howard is nearing a return to the roster for the remainder of his rookie season. It will be interesting to see where the sixth-rounder slots in on the depth chart as he adds another level of security behind the 41-year-old Rodgers."
Multiple NFL teams registered midweek minor roster moves, including Atlanta, Cincinnati, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Miami, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa Bay. Two players, Norton and Johnson, were designated to return from injured reserve earlier on 8/26 at the roster cut deadline. The Houston Texans face the possibility of losing their top three receivers for Week 8, with Tank Dell on IR, Nico Collins dealing with a concussion and Christian Kirk managing a hamstring issue. Rookie Howard is approaching a return to the roster, potentially providing depth behind 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers as a sixth-round developmental option.
