Texans sign former Titans wide receiver ahead of Week 5 matchup

The Houston Texans have added former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Bryce Oliver to their 53-man roster ahead of their Week 5 game. The signing occurred on Thursday, as the Texans recognized Oliver's value as a special teams player. Despite competing for the final receiver room spot in training camp, Oliver was unable to secure a place on the active roster.

Oliver had previously spent time on the Cleveland Browns' practice squad. The 25-year-old wideout, who made a name for himself as a fan favorite during his two-season stint with Nashville, registered seven receptions for 103 yards across 13 games. His primary impact, however, came on special teams, where his gunner skills on punt coverage would be an asset to the Texans.

While Oliver may not be eligible for this match-up against the Titans, his presence on the roster could prove beneficial in future games.
