Departs from practice with injury Auclair (knee) left practice Friday with an ice bag on his right knee, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact 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.

Catches lone target Week 18 Auclair caught his lone target for seven yards in Week 18's 28-25 loss to Tennessee.

Impact 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.

Returns from reserve/COVID-19 list Auclair was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list Auclair (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

Impact Auclair is likely in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season, though 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.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Untargeted in win Auclair was not targeted in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Jaguars.

Impact 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 for the 11th time in 14 games. There's little chance the Texans get him more involved over the final few weeks, as they are focused on developing rookie Brevin Jordan.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Has red-zone target in loss Auclair caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.

Impact 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.

Surprises with TD Auclair caught his lone target for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Impact 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.

Joins active roster The Texans signed Auclair from their practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact 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.

Back to practice squad Auclair (eye) has reverted back to the Texans' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Sunday Auclair (eye) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Browns.

Impact 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 uncertain.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Moved up again Auclair was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Auclair reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Auclair was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's season opener and started for the Texans, but he didn't draw any targets in the win. He'll return to the practice squad following his disappointing performance against Jacksonville but could rejoin the active roster at some point this year.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Sunday Auclair started but was not targeted in Sunday's 37-21 win over Jacksonville.

Impact Auclair was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster a day prior to the regular-season opener and added to the starting lineup along with Pharaoh Brown. Both are considered good blocking tight ends, and the Texans plan to be a run-heavy team, so his presence makes sense. Jordan Akins and rookie Brevin Jordan (inactive, coach's decsion) do not bring the same level of blocking acumen. It's very likely Auclair, who played played 33 snaps (42 percent), will not have a significant role if/when the Texans play from behind.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad Auclair was elevated from the Texans' practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Jaguars, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Auclair will provide depth at tight end in Sunday's season opener. He recorded just one reception for 11 yards in 16 appearances across the last two seasons with the Buccaneers.

Dropped by Texans Auclair was released by Houston on Tuesday.

Impact Auclair entered a fairly wide open tight end race when he signed with the Texans during the off-season. However, it looks like he failed to make enough of an impression with the team during his time there. The 28-year-old is now set to look for a new landing spot.
