Texans' Wendall Williams: Promoted to Texans' roster

The Texans promoted Williams from the practice squad to their active roster Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Texans wanted to add another receiver to the roster with Braxton Miller (shoulder) no lock to play this week, so they decided to bring up Williams from the practice squad. Williams will slot in at the bottom run on the depth chart, but he should be plenty familiar with the Texans' playbook, having spent all but a couple months with the team since signing with them as an undrafted free agent earlier this year.
