The Houston Texans are going to need all hands on deck against the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round on Saturday.

With Noah Brown heading to IR and his season being over, the Texans needed to add another wide receiver to the active roster. On Tuesday, they did just that.

According to the Houston Texans themselves, the team is signing wide receiver Steven Sims to the active roster, who was on the practice squad.

Sims, the Houston native, has three catches on three targets for 24 yards this season. One of those catches was for a first down. Sims has been in the NFL for several years now, spending the first few years in Washington and then in Pittsburgh.

Sims will play the same role Noah Brown was playing. Luckily, the Texans have had guys like John Metchie step up.
