The Texans plan to promote defensive end Ufomba Kamalu from the practice squad to the active roster, the Houston Chronicle reported Friday.

Kamalu is an undrafted rookie. He signed with the Texans after the draft, was waived during the September cutdown and has been on the practice squad.

The team hasn’t made the move official, so no corresponding move has been announced. The Texans have until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to officially make a move ahead of Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers.

The Texans are down a pass rusher because linebacker John Simon will miss Sunday’s game due to a chest injury.
