The Texans elevated Bond from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
With Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Bond will be elevated to fulfill a depth role in the Texans' wide receiver room. If Collins must miss Week 3 as well, Bond could return to the active roster once again, depending on his play in Sunday's contest. The sixth-round rookie out of Boston College will have the chance to play in his first NFL game Sunday.
