Sent to injured reserve
The Steelers placed Henderson (neck) on injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Henderson had already been ruled out for Sunday's date with the Broncos, and he'll now be required to miss at least the next four games. He'll be eligible to return in Week 15 against Philadelphia. The No. 9 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jaguars, Henderson has yet to appear in a game this season.
Out for Sunday
Henderson (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens. Henderson popped up on the Steelers' injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to a neck issue, and following Friday's DNP, he won't play in Sunday's divisional matchup. With Henderson sidelined in Week 11, expect James Pierre to see increased work with Pittsburgh's first-team defense.
Signed to active roster
The Steelers signed Henderson from their practice squad to the active roster Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Henderson first joined Pittsburgh's practice squad at the end of last month but has yet to appear in a game this season. The 26-year-old could have a chance to make his debut Week 8 versus the Giants as Donte Jackson is currently dealing with a shoulder injury.
Finds opportunity
Henderson signed with the Steelers' practice squad Wednesday. Henderson was last with the Texans during training camp but ultimately was unable to make the team. The Florida product appeared in 12 games with the Panthers last season, making 39 tackles (31 solo), 1.0 sacks and two passes defended.
Returns to practice
Henderson (undisclosed) was back out on the field at the Texans' practice Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Houston Chronicle reports. Henderson was unavailable for multiple practices as a result of an undisclosed issue, but he was practicing in full capacity Tuesday. The cornerback signed with the Texans in March and he'll look to carve out a significant role for himself in Houston's secondary this season.
Headed to Houston
Henderson signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Henderson hasn't made the expected impact tied to his first-round draft capital, but he was a decent contributor in the Panthers' secondary for the last two seasons. He's likely to fill a similar depth role with the Texans, potentially taking the field in nickel or dime formations.
Enters protocols
Henderson's exit will be a blow to the team's secondary, which is already without Vonn Bell (quadriceps) and has also seen Xavier Woods exit early Sunday with a thigh injury. With Henderson sidelined, Troy Hill and D'Shawn Jamison will be the likeliest candidates to see extra snaps against Indianapolis.
