Texans Place Noah Brown On Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans placed wide receiver Noah Brown (groin) and defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, so they will both have to miss at least the next four games after getting injured in the Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Texans signed defensive end Michael Dogbe and punter Ty Zenter to the active roster in corresponding moves. Brown caught three of his four targets for 20 yards and lost a yard on his lone carry on Sunday in the season opener, playing 52 offensive snaps, which was just under Robert Woods' and Nico Collins' workloads. With Brown now sidelined for at least four games, rookie Tank Dell will have a chance at a bigger role with John Metchie III still battling a nagging hamstring injury.
