Noel (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Texans on Tuesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
It's not clear what landed Noel on the list, but the wideout is eligible to be activated at any time once he's deemed ready to practice. The 2025 third-rounder will compete for slotting in a Houston WR corps that includes Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell (knee) and Lewis Bond, with Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins as the expected starters.
