CARSON, Calif. - The New York Jets have signed wide receiver Vyncint Smith off of the Texans' practice squad, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly.
The Texans are expected to replace Smith with Oklahoma State wide receiver Tyron Johnson, according to sources.
Johnson, cut by the Texans after the preseason, is a 4.36 sprinter who tried out for the Oakland Raiders on Friday.
The Texans wanted to keep Smith, per sources, but the opportunity with the Jets was a good one given the injuries they've endured at wide receiver.
Smith is a speedy deep threat from Division II Limestone College who made the Texans' roster a year ago as an undrafted free agent.
