Hall had four tackles, two sacks and forced a fumble in Week 12's 41-25 win over Detroit.
Hall was promoted from the practice squad Week 9 as the Texans suffered injuries and COVID-19 at the linebacker position, but he had not played extensively on defense until Thursday's win. A 2019 undrafted free agent out of Northwestern, Hall did all that damage in just 11 snaps.
Hall was promoted to the Texans' active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The 24-year-old served as an extra player from the practice squad the past two games, and he made enough of an impression to earn a longer look on the active roster. Hall played only three defensive snaps, but he had four total tackles due to his work on special teams.
Hall is a candidate to be added to the active roster for Week 9 against Jacksonville, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The Texans have been hit by COVID-19 among the linebacking corps and will miss three linebackers, including Jacob Martin, Dylan Cole and Whitney Mercilus, a linebacker that often lines up as an edge rusher. With Kyle Emanuel (concussion) ruled out, Houston will likely reach down to its practice squad with Hall and Emmanuel Ellerbee.
Hall was waived by the Cowboys on Friday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Hall originally latched onto the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Northwestern. The 23-year-old will now have to find another opportunity elsewhere.
The Cowboys signed Hall on Tuesday.
Coming off a torn Achilles' tendon suffered in December 2017, Hall posted the lowest tackle total (51) of his career during his final season at Northwestern. He made up for that slightly with a team-leading three interceptions, but it wasn't enough for him to get selected in last week's draft. He'll likely to showcase some of the explosiveness that he displayed prior to the Achilles injury to have any hope of making the Cowboys' 53-man roster.
