Texans promote QB Alex McGough to active roster, cut Cornell Armstrong:
Quote:
The Texans promoted former Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Alex McGough to their active roster from the practice squad, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
The Jaguars had McGough in mind for a backup spot with starter Nick Foles on injured reserve with a broken collarbone, but the Texans were proactive about making sure McGough was on their active roster.
McGough was with the Jaguars during the preseason before joining the Texans on an upgraded practice squad salary worth over $20,000 per week, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

So, the Jags probably wanted McGough back but the Texans promoted him to the 53. Watson's back (not debilitating at this point) probably also had something to do with it....
