Added to active roster The Texans activated Addison (thigh) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact Addison was forced to miss the first four games of the season after landing on injured reserve due to a thigh injury, but he's set to make his season and team debut in Week 5. The veteran pass rusher has recorded at least five sacks in eight consecutive seasons and will look to continue that streak during his first campaign with Houston.

Designated to return from IR Addison (thigh) was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Addison opened the season on IR, so he was forced to miss the first four games of the season. It's extremely encouraging that the veteran pass rusher is available to practice at the earliest possible time, but it remains unclear when he'll be ready for game action. The Texans will have a 21-day period to officially activate him from IR, but if they don't, he'll revert back to IR for the remainder of the campaign. Addison has recorded at least five sacks in eight consecutive seasons with two different teams, and when available, he'll look to extend that streak to nine campaigns and three teams.

Bills have limited salary cap space entering free agency
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has a decision to weigh: stick with the players he’s familiar with or plug the team’s needs in free agencyMARCH 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Future unclear GM Brandon Beane said this week that while he expects Addison -- an unrestricted free agent -- to explore the market, he's very open to having the veteran return to the team, the B...
Impact Addison is one of Beane's many Panthers connections from his Carolina days and the veteran has spent two seasons with the Bills, totaling 12 sacks and 59 tackles over those two campaigns. Addison will be 35 during the 2022 campaign, so we doubt there's a big free-agent figure awaiting him, but it sounds like he'll at least explore the market. It sounds like the cash-strapped Bills are interested in bringing him back at a cost-friendly deal should Addison not find a golden ticket elsewhere for what might be his final NFL contract.

Impact Addison sustained a shoulder injury during Saturday's wild-card win over the Patriots and was limited to start the week, but it appears he will be full go against Kansas City. The veteran defensive end has totaled 29 tackles, seven sacks and two forced fumbles in 17 appearances this season, so his presence should be a big boost in trying to slow down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense.

Limited Wednesday Addison (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Addison sustained a shoulder injury during Saturday's wild-card win over the Patriots, and coach Sean McDermott said after the game that the 34-year-old is considered day-to-day. It's encouraging that Addison was able to take the field Wednesday, but he'll likely need to practice fully later in the week if he hopes to avoid the injury report for Sunday's divisional matchup against Kansas City.

Impact Addison is an important part of the defensive line as a key piece in the team's rotational system. He led the Bills with 7.0 sacks this season and could play an important role in trying to get some extra pressure on Patrick Mahomes in the upcoming divisional-round meeting.

Questionable to return Addison (shoulder) is questionable to return Saturday against the Patriots.
Impact Addison picked up the injury in the middle of the third quarter. While he's out, the Bills' pass-rush will take a hit. Carlos Basham or A.J. Epenesa will likely see extra opportunity until Addison is able to return.
