Being evaluated for head injury Emanuel is being evaluated for a concussion after exiting Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Impact The 29-year-old was plucked from the Raiders' practice squad Oct. 13, with Sunday's matchup against Green Bay representing his second appearance as a Texan.

Poached by Texans Emanuel signed to the Texans' active roster Tuesday.

Impact The 29-year-old was on the Raiders' practice squad, but he'll now provide depth at linebacker for the Texans. Emanuel spent the previous few years with the Chargers and had 30 tackles (21 solo) and one sack in 2019.
