Dolphins' Jared Wayne: Claimed off waivers by Miami
Wayne was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins on Tuesday.
Wayne was waived by the Texans on Monday, though he was quickly scooped up by the Dolphins on Tuesday. The 26-year-old appeared in six regular-season games for Houston since the 2025 campaign, totaling six grabs (14 targets) for 65 yards.

Jared Wayne: Cut loose by Houston
Wayne was waived by the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wayne is the odd man out in the wide receiver room with Houston after the team announced Sunday that they have traded for third-year wideout Marvin Harrison from the Cardinals. Wayne has played in each of the Texans' five regular-season contests to this point, reeling in four of 12 targets for 65 targets. If the 26-year-old clears waivers, there's a strong chance that Wayne returns as a member of Houston's practice squad.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Seven targets in loss
Wayne caught two of his seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.
Wayne garnered plenty of C.J. Stroud's attention due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver saw the third-most targets for the Texans behind Dalton Schultz and Xavier Hutchinson, but he wasn't efficient with them while playing on 40 of the team's 80 offensive snaps in the contest.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Staying in Houston
Wayne signed a reserve/future contract with the Texans on Tuesday.
Wayne spent most of the 2025 season on the Texans' practice squad and was elevated for Week 8 against the 49ers, when he played 35 offensive snaps and caught both of his targets for 20 yards. He'll be on Houston's 90-man roster when the offseason commences Feb. 9, which allows him to participate in OTAs and minicamp and make a good impression on the coaching staff before the start of training camp in July.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Returns to practice squad
Wayne reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.
Wayne was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's win over San Francisco, as both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) were unable to suit up. He took the field for 35 of the Texans' 80 offensive snaps -- third-most among Houston wideouts -- and caught both of his targets for 20 yards. Wayne's likelihood of being elevated again for a Week 9 game versus Denver could depend on whether Collins and/or Kirk is able to return to action.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Makes season debut
Wayne caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers.
Wayne was elevated from the practice squad due to both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) being unavailable. He played 35 snaps, third-most among the wideouts, and recorded the first two receptions of his career after seeing action in three games during the regular season and one playoff game in 2024. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad on two more occasions this season while Collins and Kirk work their way back to full health.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Elevated to active roster
The Texans on Saturday elevated Wayne to the active roster for Week 8 against San Francisco.
Wayne will join Houston's active roster, which will be without both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom were ruled out. Wayne is expected to serve as the fifth wideout on the depth chart behind Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and Braxton Berrios.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Joins active roster
The Texans signed Wayne from their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 25-year-old from Pittsburgh adds much-needed depth to the Texans' receiving corps, as Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) are both dealing with injuries. Wayne appeared in three games with the Texans in 2024, failing to record an offensive stat over 64 total snaps (40 on offense, 24 on special teams). Now back with the active roster, he's likely to contribute on both offense and special teams in Houston's Week 8 matchup against the 49ers.

Jared Wayne: Returns to Texans on PS
Houston signed Wayne to its practice squad Thursday.
Wayne was waived by Houston in early August but didn't latch on a with a different team. Instead he's reuniting with the Texans, with whom he got into three regular-season games last year. Wayne also logged 10 offensive snaps in the team's AFC divisional-round playoff loss to the Chiefs.

Jared Wayne: Let go by Houston
The Texans waived Wanye on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Wayne had been working through a hamstring issue, but because he wasn't waived with an injury designation, he'll be free to sign with a team once he clears waivers rather than reverting to the Texans' injured reserve. He played 64 snaps (40 on offense, 24 on special teams) across three regular-season games in 2024 but did not accrue any other stats.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Battling hamstring injury
Wayne (hamstring) did not practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wayne is competing for one of the final spots at wide receiver in Houston. In 2024, Wayne appeared in three regular-season games and then the Texans' playoff loss to the Chiefs. He didn't see a target during the regular season but did draw two of them versus Kansas City, failing to catch either one.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Logs two targets in playoff loss
Wayne failed to catch either of his two targets in Saturday's 23-14 divisional-round playoff loss to Kansas City.
Wayne, who was recently added to the active roster, was on the field for 24 snaps, the most in his four games played during the regular season and playoffs. He's eligible to sign a reserve/future contract and could be around for offseason training activities and training camp in preparation for the 2025 season.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Added to active roster
The Texans signed Wayne off their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wayne takes the 53-man roster spot vacated by Diontae Johnson, whom Houston cut earlier Tuesday. Wayne has been elevated numerous times already this season, appearing in three regular-season contests. He didn't catch a single pass on 40 offensive snaps, however, and is unlikely to see much playing time on offense as the Texans' fifth receiver behind Nico Collins, John Metchie, Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson.

Jared Wayne: Goes back to practice squad
The Texans reverted Wayne to their practice squad Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Wayne was elevated for the second straight week ahead of Wednesday's loss to Baltimore and logged 16 offensive snaps without receiving a target. He's now been elevated three total times this season, so the Texans would need to sign Wayne to their active roster in order for him to play Week 18 against Tennessee. However, players can be elevated from the practice squad an unlimited number of times during the postseason.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Elevated for Christmas Day
The Texans elevated Wayne from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.
Wayne will be elevated for a second straight week and the third time this season. He played eight offensive snaps during the Texans' Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. However, Wayne could see more snaps on offense Wednesday due to Tank Dell being out for the rest of 2024 due to a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap.

Jared Wayne: Reverts to practice squad
Wayne reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.
Wayne was elevated from the Texans' practice squad for the second time this season and played eight offensive snaps in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs. However, with Tank Dell out for the rest of 2024 due to a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap, Wayne could be elevated to the active roster for the Texans' Week 17 clash against the Ravens on Wednesday.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Elevated Friday
Wayne was elevated to the Texans' active roster Friday.
Wayne made his NFL regular-season debut in the Texans' Week 13 win over the Jaguars, failing to record a stat over 31 total snaps (16 offensive and 15 on special teams). He's been added to the active roster again ahead of Week 16 with John Metchie (shoulder) ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Chiefs. Wayne is likely to serve as a depth piece in Houston's wide receiver room Saturday.

Jared Wayne: Heads back to practice squad
Wayne reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Wayne failed to garner any stats while playing 16 of the team's 63 offensive snaps and 15 snaps on special teams in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. The wide receiver can be elevated two more times before Houston would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Texans' Jared Wayne: Makes NFL debut
Wayne was not targeted over 16 snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 13.
Wayne, who made his NFL debut, was elevated from the practice squad to occupy a spot at the back end of the depth chart with Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) inactive. His 16 snaps were the fewest among the wideouts.
