The Texans placed rookie wide receiver Braxton Miller on their injured-reserve list Tuesday.
A third-round pick last April, Miller played in 10 games and started six. A former quarterback who played just one college season as a wide receiver, Miller was used sparingly by the Texans as a kickoff and punt returner.
Miller caught 15 passes for 99 yards and one touchdown. He’s been shut down after suffering a shoulder injury in early December.
Rookie wide receiver Wendall Williams was promoted from the practice squad and will take Miller’s spot on the active roster.
