Jalen Camp: Heads to PS injured list
Rotowire
The Texans placed Camp (oblique) on their practice squad injured list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Camp was elevated to Houston's active roster from the practice squad ahead of Week 14, but he suffered an oblique injury during the loss to Dallas that's landed him on the practice squad injured list. Given the Texans have been eliminated from the playoffs and have only four regular-season games left, Camp's 2022 campaign is officially over. The 2021 sixth-round pick caught his only target for seven yards across 20 offensive snaps in two appearances.

Texans' Jalen Camp: Bumped up for Week 14
Rotowire
The Texans elevated Camp from the practice squad Saturday for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Camp will step up with top wideouts Brandin Cooks (personal) and Nico Collins (foot) both ruled out Week 14. While the practice-squad receiver has seen the field only once so far this season, catching his lone target for seven yards over 14 offensive snaps Week 9, he'll likely vie with Amari Rodgers for a role as Houston's No. 3 receiver against Dallas. Since this is Camp's third elevation from the Texans' practice squad, he will now require a full spot on the active roster to suit up for the team again in 2022.

Texans' Jalen Camp: One catch in loss
Rotowire
Camp caught his lone target for seven yards in Thursday's 29-17 loss to Philadelphia in Week 9.
Both Camp (15 snaps) and Tyron Johnson (25 snaps, one target) were on the active roster with Brandin Cooks (personal) and Nico Collins (groin) inactive, but neither wideout stood out. Cooks is expected to be ready for Week 10 against the Giants, so one of these two likely will be sitting.

Texans' Jalen Camp: Gets call to active roster
Rotowire
Houston elevated Camp from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Tennessee.
Camp joined the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and will have a chance to make his season debut in Week 8 after being elevated to the active roster. Nico Collins (groin) has already been ruled out and Brandin Cooks (wrist) is questionable, so it's possible Camp gets involved offensively, though he's still unlikely to crack fantasy relevance.

Texans' Jalen Camp: Gets reps in preseason opener
Rotowire
Camp caught two of four targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 17-13 preseason win over New Orleans.
Camp scored Houston's first touchdown, a four-yard reception late in the first quarter, then caught a 49-yard bomb in the fourth quarter during a two-minute drill to set up the game-winning score. He's on the roster bubble, but due to John Metchie's illness, Camp is in the mix for a final wideout spot. Per a roster projection from Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle, the 6-foot-2 Camp has stood out during practice drills with size and has broken at least two catches for long touchdowns.

Texans' Jalen Camp: Moves to active roster
Rotowire
Camp was promoted from the practice squad to active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Camp was a sixth-round selection of the Jaguars in the 2021 Draft, but he was cut loose at the end of training camp and snatched up by the Texans. The Georgia Tech product has yet to make his NFL debut, but with Brandin Cooks on the reserve/COVID-19 list, that should change Sunday against the Chargers.
