One day after linebacker Ben Heeney underwent season-ending ankle surgery and was waived-injured, he cleared waivers.
Heeney is now on the Texans' injured reserve list.
The former University of Kansas standout got hurt against the Los Angeles Rams last week and was carted off the field.
Heeney is a reserve defender and special-teams contributor who has battled injuries this past year.
