Texans' Pheldarius Payne: Reverts to injured reserve

Payne (hamstring) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The defensive tackle is expected to reach an injury settlement with the Texans and join the team's practice squad, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Payne injured his hamstring during Saturday's preseason win over the Rams. The rookie initially signed with Houston as an undrafted free agent in April.
