Works as third tight end

RotoWire Logo Published: 2025-01-13

Smith went untargeted in lasts Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers in the wild-card round.

Smith was on the active roster and worked as the third tight end as Teagan Quitoriano (calf) was held out of the opening round of the playoffs. The latter was designated to return last week and could replace Smith for this weekend's divisional-round matchup against Kansas City. After being released from the Chiefs' practice squad in September, Smith was scooped up by Houston and eventually elevated to its 53-man roster. He wasn't targeted over five regular-season appearances, and the 26-year-old will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Signs to active roster

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-12-20

The Texans signed Smith to their active roster Friday.

Smith, a 2019 second-round pick from Alabama, has already played in two games with the Texans this season, failing to record a stat across 48 total snaps (39 offensive and nine on special teams). He's expected to serve as Houston's No. 2 tight end in Saturday's matchup against the Chiefs, playing behind Dalton Schultz.

Reverts to practice squad

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-12-16

Smith reverted to Houston's practice squad Monday.

Smith was elevated for the second straight week as Cade Stover (Appendix) was out and Teagan Quitoriano (knee) is on injured reserve but once again failed to record any stats. Smith could be called up for the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Chiefs if Stover ends up being unable to play again.

Promoted from practice squad

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-12-14

Smith has been elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

This is the second time Smith has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster, as he logged 22 snaps (17 on offense, five on special teams) in Week 13 against the Jaguars. Smith is expected to operate as Houston's No. 3 tight end in this Week 15 contest behind Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover.

Back to practice squad

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-12-02

Smith reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Week 13 was the first time Smith was elevated to the Texans' active roster this season as he took over for Teagon Quitoriano (knee) as the No. 3 tight end behind Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover. Smith played 22 snaps (17 on offesne, five on special teams) and did not record a stat in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars. The 2019 second-round pick is eligible to be elevated from Houston's practice squad two more times this season.

Makes Texans debut

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-12-02

Smith was not targeted over 17 snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 13.

Smith was elevated from the practice squad to take over for the injured Teagan Quitoriano (knee) as the third tight end. Smith experienced a modest level of success in three seasons with the Vikings, but he'll remain firmly entrenched behind Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover.

Gets elevation for Week 13

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-11-30

Smith was elevated from the Texans' practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Jacksonville, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Smith's elevation will be his first of the campaign. The veteran tight end played for the Bengals last season, recording 18 catches for 115 yards and one touchdown over 12 regular-season games. Smith will work as Houston's No. 3 tight end Sunday following the placement of Teagan Quitoriano (knee) on IR on Thursday.

Joins Texans' practice squad

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-09-17

Houston signed Smith to its practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Smith played in 12 games with Cincinnati in 2023, but he wasn't able to stick on a 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season. Now he'll get a chance to make an impression with the Texans, but as long as Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan remain healthy, there won't be many snaps at tight end left over for anyone else.

Released by Kansas City

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-08-27

The Chiefs released Smith on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 2019 second-round pick was a healthy scratch for the Bengals by the end of last season and now finds himself unable to earn a spot on Kansas City's initial 53-man roster. Smith is only 26 years old but may struggle to stick around the league as anything more than a practice squad player.
