Davis Mills threw a touchdown pass to Chris Moore to help the Houston Texans beat the San Francisco 49ers 17-0 on Thursday night in the preseason finale for both teams

Remaining in Houston Moore signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Moore began the 2021 campaign on the Texans' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for several games early in the season before landing a permanent roster spot in mid-October. He showed glimpses of potential, including his Week 5 performance against the Patriots in which he hauled in all five of his targets for 109 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old will presumably have to compete for a roster spot once again during training camp in 2022.

Scores in finale Moore caught three of three targets for 38 yards and a 28-yard touchdown in Week 18's 28-25 loss to Tennessee.

Impact In the process, Moore scored his second touchdown and first since Week 5. He was normally involved in every game, but played more than 30 percent of the offensive snaps just four times in 12 games. The 28-year-old wide receiver, who finished up the campaign with 21 catches on 22 targets for 227 yards, enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Good to go Sunday Moore (illness) is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Impact The 28-year-old was questionable due to the illness but will play in Houston's season finale. Moore and Danny Amendola should compete for reps as the Texans' No. 3 wideout with Chris Conley (knee) inactive Sunday.

Questionable Sunday Moore (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact Moore was a non-participant in Thursday's practice session and was limited Friday. He was unavailable for last week's loss to the 49ers since he was on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Week 18.

Doesn't practice Thursday Moore (illness) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session.

Impact Moore was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday but was unable to take the field Thursday due to an illness. Whether the issue impacts his availability for Sunday's game against the Titans remains to be seen.

JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list Moore returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Impact The wide receiver was placed on the COVID list Dec. 29, missing last week's loss to the 49ers. Moore will return to his role as a depth option on the active roster, a role that has led to 18 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown for him in 2021.

JANUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to COVID-19 list Moore was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Impact Even if he returns in short order, Moore likely will be buried on the depth chart after two other Houston receivers (including Brandin Cooks) were activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Activated, no run on offense Moore was active and did not play on offense during Houston's 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Moore, who was a healthy inactive the previous week, returned to active duty but played 21 snaps on special teams only. He took a back seat to Jordan Veasy, a practice squad receiver that played 15 snaps with the offense in his first game action of 2021.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Week 14 Moore was a healthy inactive for Week 14 against Seattle.

Impact Danny Amendola's knee injury seemingly created an opportunity for Moore, but head coach David Culley is looking elsewhere for slot receivers. Davion Davis was the first to play in the slot, but he left after one catch and one play with an ankle injury. After that, it was a combination of Phillip Dorsett and Chris Conley. Moore's status could change Week 15 at Jacksonville, pending Davis' health.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets no bump without Amendola Moore played 13 of 52 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

Impact Danny Amendola (knee) was inactive Sunday, but that did not translate into an increase of playing time for Moore, who filled in for Amendola earlier this season when the slot receiver was injury. Instead, Moore watched Davion Davis enter the starting lineup in the slot. Davis was targeted twice (no catches) in 20 snaps. With Amendola expected to miss another three weeks at a minimum, there should be opportunities for both Moore and Davis, but Houston's passing attack doesn't offer much hope for fantasy managers.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to fill in at slot Moore is the likely replacement at slot receiver for the injured Danny Amendola (knee) on Sunday against the Colts, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Moore, who opened the season on the practice squad, was the primary slot receiver earlier when Amendola missed four games due to a hamstring injury. He was made a permanent resident on the active roster following Week 5, when he impressed with five grabs, 109 yards and a touchdown in a loss to New England. He's been marginalized since Amendola returned, but Moore's in line for an uptick in targets Sunday and beyond. As is Davion Davis, who could make his debut for the Texans after the team signed him in October. Amendola is expected to miss at least four games, per a source.

DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches lone target in loss Moore caught his only target for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Jets.

Impact Moore's 11 snaps were fourth among wide receivers, and he's last overall among the position group's regulars with just 32.1 percent of plays in 2021. He had a brief spasm of activity Weeks 5 and 6, but since then he's totaled five catches, five targets and 26 yards over five games. By now, the 28-year-old wide receiver is a well-known commodity and is unlikely to gain a larger share of playing time, even as the team slowly turns its focus to next season.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Targets remain up, but not yards Moore caught four of five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Colts.

Impact One week after Moore's breakout game against the Patriots, he remained a big part of the Texans' passing offense, but it did not translate into a meaningful impact Week 6. Moore's had 10 targets the last two weeks, but he now must deal with added competition from rookie Nico Collins, who returned following a three-week stint on the injured list.

Gets permanent roster spot The Texans signed Moore off their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Previously elevated from the practice squad ahead of the team's Week 5 loss to the Patriots, Moore was immediately thrust into a regular spot in Houston's three-receiver sets alongside Brandin Cooks and Chris Conley. The 28-year-old made quite an impression in only his second game with Houston, finishing with five receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown on five targets. The breakout performance should be enough to keep Moore involved in the game plan Sunday in Indianapolis, but he may end up seeing a smaller share of the snaps if slot specialist Danny Amendola (thigh) is cleared to return from a three-game absence.

OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts back to practice squad Moore reverted back to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact With Danny Amendola (thigh) sidelined, Moore was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's contest against the Patriots. He didn't disappoint as he totaled five catches for 109 yards -- both career-highs -- and one touchdown. The 28-year-old has already been elevated twice, so the Texans will need to sign him to a contract if they want him on the active roster for Week 6.

Rookie Mills makes progress but Texans still can't end skid

Houston’s Davis Mills took a huge step forward with his performance this weekend against the New England Patriots

OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tops 100 yards Moore recorded five receptions on five targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss against the Patriots.

Impact Moore was elevated from the practice squad Saturday as depth to cover for the absence of Danny Amendola (thigh). He made the most of that chance by delivering an impressive leaping catch over J.C. Jackson to deliver a 67-yard touchdown reception. While that was the highlight his performance, Moore also managed gains of 27 and 13 yards. Moore has now been elevated from the practice squad on two occasions, so he may receive a contract to join the active roster ahead of the team's Week 6 matchup against the Colts.

Rejoins active roster Moore was elevated from the Texans' practice squad Saturday.

Impact Moore was active in Week 3 but played just two offensive snaps in the loss to Carolina. He'll play a depth role at wide receiver with Danny Amendola (thigh) questionable against the Patriots.

Let go by Texans Moore was cut by the Texans on Tuesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Moore joined the Texans during the offseason after spending his first five seasons in Baltimore. While he saw plenty of action during the preseason, he was ultimately unable to make enough of an impression to earn a role on Houston's 53-man roster.
