Texans awarded RB Andre Ellington off waivers

Cousins Bruce and Andre Ellington get to be on the same team.

The Texans were awarded running back Andre Ellington off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

Ellington is the cousin of Texans wide receiver Bruce Ellington and a former Cardinals sixth-round draft pick from Clemson.

Not the power of Foreman but a good pass catching back....

OLB LaTroy Lewis, OLB Gimel President and G Chad Slade signed off practice squad to active roster.

Texans sign three new players to practice squad, get a one week exemption for Cushing and waive OLB Lamarr Houston.

T Chris Clark and ILB Ben Heeney placed on IR.

B Ellington and Fido placed on season ending IR. They join Brennan Scarlett who was IR'ed yesterday.

TE MyCole Pruitt and WR DeAndrew White signed to the active roster from the PS. WR Devin Lucien (AZ St.) and CB Josh Thornton (So Utah) take their place.

[HPF Bob]

MyCole Pruitt is somebody I remember from draft research. He's a tweener TE who is almost useless as a blocker but can get deep and has good hands so he can be used as a slot receiver but may be best served as the sneaky TE you line up tight and then watch him run past the safeties.
