Antony Auclair: Joins practice squad
Auclair (knee) signed with the Titans' practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Auclair was part of the Texans' final roster cuts, and he was dealing with a knee injury upon his release. Now healthy, Auclair has been able to find a new opportunity in Tennessee. With the Titans currently having four healthy tight ends on their active roster, he may have a difficult time ascending to the 53-man roster.

Antony Auclair: Released by Houston
The Texans released Auclair (knee) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Auclair didn't appear in any of the team's three preseason games due to a knee injury, but he wasn't released with an injury designation. The 6-foot-6 tight end has appeared in 56 career games but never has been a receiving threat, so his fantasy upside is limited.

Auclair (knee) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Auclair has been sidelined since July 29 and will end up not logging any preseason action. The Texans are currently short-handed at tight end, as both Pharaoh Brown (hamstring) and Teagan Quitoriano (knee) are also sidelined.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Not expected to suit up Saturday
Auclair (knee) is not anticipated to play during the Texans' preseason matchup against the Saints on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Auclair has been dealing with a right knee injury suffered during Houston's practice July 29. In the sixth-year tight end's absence, fellow backups Teagan Quitoriano, Mason Schreck and Seth Green should see increased usage versus New Orleans.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Departs from practice with injury
Auclair (knee) left practice Friday with an ice bag on his right knee, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
The exact nature of the injury isn't clear at this time. Auclair will hope to return to the practice field as soon as possible, because after Houston added Teagan Quitoriano in the fifth round of this year's draft, his status heading into the regular season may depend on whether the Texans decide to keep four tight ends on their 53-man roster.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Re-signs with Houston
The Texans re-signed Auclair on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Auclair will return to Houston for a second straight season. The veteran tight end appeared in 16 contests during the 2021 campaign, across which span he secured all five of his targets for 47 yards and one score.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Catches lone target Week 18
Auclair caught his lone target for seven yards in Week 18's 28-25 loss to Tennessee.
This was just Auclair's second catch since Week 9, and he finished the season with five catches on five targets for 47 yards and one score. He played all 16 games, sometimes starting, but the 28-year-old was used primarily as a blocker. He becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason but could return on a modest contract to serve a similar role in 2022.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Returns from reserve/COVID-19 list
Auclair was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
The 28-year-old was forced to miss Week 17 after being placed on the COVID list Dec. 31. Auclair has had a limited offensive impact this season, making only four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown over 15 games.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list
Auclair was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus.
Auclair is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season, but it's still possible that he is available for the Texans' Week 17 matchup against San Francisco. Though he consistently receives snaps, Auclair has earned only four targets this season.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Untargeted in win
Auclair was not targeted in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Jaguars.
It was a typical game for Auclair, who played 31 percent of the offensive snaps, which is right at his season average of 31.5 percent. He also went untargeted for the 11th time in 14 games. There's little chance the Texans get him more involved as a receiver over the final few weeks, as they are focused on developing rookie Brevin Jordan.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Has red-zone target in loss
Auclair caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.
Auclair was targeted in the red zone, his second such target of the season, but Seattle's defense stopped him from reaching the end zone. He's caught four of four targets for 40 yards with one touchdown in 2021. If any of the players in the tight end mix have fantasy worth, it's rookie Brevin Jordan who caught his third touchdown of the season and was targeted seven times Sunday.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Leads tight ends in loss
Auclair caught two of two targets for 23 yards and led all Houston tight ends with 36 snaps in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Miami.
That was a season-high snap count for Auclair, who stepped into the role normally filled by Pharaoh Brown (thigh). Of the team's three healthy tight ends, Auclair is the best blocker, which should keep him on the field and active while Brown is out. The targets/catches were his first since Week 5, however.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Surprises with TD
Auclair caught his lone target for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Auclair, who has played all five games this season because of his blocking ability, was a target for the first time in 2021. This was also his first career touchdown. Houston's quarterback situation isn't conducive to producing much fantasy value for receivers, so Auclair shouldn't be viewed as a worthy addition to any fantasy lineup, especially considering he is behind both Jordan Akins and Pharaoh Brown in terms of snaps and targets.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Joins active roster
The Texans signed Auclair from their practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Auclair has been elevated for both games this season and provided value as a stout run-blocking tight end. With Tyrod Taylor and Nico Collins on IR, Auclair likely will have a spot on the active roster for the next few weeks.

Antony Auclair: Back to practice squad
Auclair (eye) has reverted back to the Texans' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Auclair got knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Browns after suffering an eye injury. He played in just two offensive snaps without recording any stats before exiting.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Questionable to return Sunday
Auclair (eye) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Browns.
Auclair has been elevated from the practice squad before each of the first two games of the season. He hasn't recorded a catch in his limited action, as he has mostly been relegated to blocking duties. The severity of the injury is unknown.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Won't come back Sunday
Auclair (eye) has been declared out of Sunday's game against the Browns, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Auclair's absence leaves the Texans' tight-end group thin. It's down to Pharaoh Brown and Jordan Akins for the rest of the contest.

Texans' Antony Auclair: Moved up again
Auclair was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Auclair surprisingly was listed as the team's starting tight end Week 1 alongside Pharaoh Brown. No Houston tight end actually recorded a catch in that contest as the aforementioned duo was simply relegated to blocking duties. That might change with a difficult Week 2 matchup against the Browns on tap.
