Won't play Sunday

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-11-19

Saubert (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The 29-year-old tight end seems to have fallen down the Texans' depth chart with Brevin Jordan returning to action in Week 11. Saubert has appeared in two games since signing with Houston in late October, playing a total of 55 snaps (36 offensive and 19 on special teams) and failing to record a single stat.

Top TE backup Sunday

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-11-06

Saubert was not targeted and played 12 snaps in Sunday's 39-37 win over Tampa Bay in Week 9.

Saubert was signed to Houston's active roster as both Brevin Jordan (foot) and Teagan Quitoriano (groin) were unavailable. There isn't much for backup tight ends after Dalton Schultz, who accounts 50 of the position group's 59 targets this season.

Joins Houston

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-10-31

The Texans signed Saubert from the Cowboys' practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

The move corresponds with the Texans placing Teagan Quitoriano (groin) on injured reserve. Saubert joined the Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 24, was elevated for Sunday's game against the Rams and played 14 snaps on special teams. He'll fill in as a depth tight end behind Dalton Schultz with Brevin Jordan (foot) expected to miss games.

Back to practice squad

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-10-30

Saubert reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday.

Saubert didn't record any stats in Sunday's win against the Rams while playing 14 snaps on special teams. The 29-year-old just signed with the Cowboys' practice squad last week and will now wait for another chance to be elevated.

Promoted to active roster

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-10-28

The Cowboys elevated Saubert to the active roster Saturday.

Saubert joined the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday after being released with an injury settlement by the Dolphins on Sept. 6. He had a tryout with the Steelers on Oct. 3, but ultimately landed in Dallas three weeks later. If he suits up for Sunday's contest against the Rams, he'll provide an additional depth piece at tight end alongside Luke Schoonmaker and Sean McKeon.

Headed to Dallas

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-10-24

The Cowboys signed Saubert to their practice squad Tuesday, Nick Harris of the team's official site reports.

Saubert signed with the Dolphins this past offseason, but he ended up suffering an undisclosed injury that led to his eventual release in early September. The veteran tight end out of Drake most recently played for the Broncos in 2022, and throughout his six-year NFL career, he's recorded 33 receptions for 280 yards and two touchdowns.

Saubert (undisclosed) had a workout with Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Saubert had an opportunity with Miami during training camp, but he suffered an undisclosed injury which resulted in him receiving an injury settlement with the team and becoming a free agent. Now healthy, the 29-year-old is looking for work again, after spending the two previous seasons with the Broncos.

Released with injury settlement

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-09-06

Saubert (undisclosed) was released after he and the Dolphins agreed on an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Saubert was set to spend the 2023 season on the Dolphins' injured reserve, but he will now have an opportunity to play elsewhere if he can prove his health. The tight end has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, which he'll have to recover from prior to playing this year.

Moves to injured reserve

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-08-29

Saubert (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

The tight end went out with his injury on Aug. 21 and initial reports were that he could miss a week or two. The blocking specialist signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in March after spending the last two seasons with the Broncos. Saubert has 15 starts in 74 career games.
