The Texans signed kicker Matt Ammendola and linebacker Garret Wallow to the 53-player roster from the practice squad, the team announced Saturday.
In a corresponding move, they placed safety Grayland Arnold on injured reserve. Houston already had ruled him out for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals with a calf injury.
The Texans also announcd they elevated safety Brandon Hill and kick returner Steven Sims Jr. to the active roster from the practice squad.
Ammendola kicked the game-winning field goal on the final play in the Texans’ 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He was signed after regular kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn was placed on injured reserve with a strained quadriceps.
Wallow has not played this season, but the Texans need him with Denzel Perryman suspended for two games and Henry To’oTo’o ruled out with concussion.
