Former Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Kingsley Keke didn’t have to wait long to find a new team.
The Houston Texans claimed Keke off of waivers on Thursday, according to the league’s transaction wire.
In a surprising roster move, the Packers waived Keke on Wednesday. His roster spot went to Randall Cobb on Thursday.
Keke’s departure remains a bit of a mystery. He was a healthy scratch during the Packers’ Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns and didn’t play while dealing with COVID-19 and an illness over the final two weeks.
