HOUSTON — The Texans added to their quarterback depth Tuesday, reaching a deal with Jake Delhomme.
Delhomme on Tuesday worked out with the team, along with another retired quarterback, Jeff Garcia. Delhomme, 36, will back up rookie T.J. Yates, a fifth-round pick slated to start Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Rick Smith, Delhomme's agent, said in a phone interview Tuesday that his client has been staying in shape and raising racehorses.
Houston is thin at the position in the wake of season- ending injuries to Matt Schaub (foot surgery) and Matt Leinart (broken collarbone).
MINNEAPOLIS — If it seemed things couldn't get much worse for the Vikings (2-9), they will enter the final month with four key contributors lost for the season.
Receiver Michael Jenkins, long snapper Cullen Loeffler, and safeties Husain Abdullah and Tyrell Johnson were placed on injured reserve.
To fill the holes, the Vikings re-signed receiver Stephen Burton to the active roster and agreed to terms with long snapper Matt Katula and safeties Jarrad Page and Andrew Sendejo.
Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is free of concussion symptoms and "all things are positive" for the AFC North showdown with the Bengals, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said.
• The Bears placed special- teams contributor Brian Iwuh (hamstring) on the waived/injured list and promoted linebacker Patrick Trahan from the practice squad.
• The Lions signed defensive back Ricardo Silva off their practice squad and he could make his debut Sunday.
• The Browns placed starting linebacker Scott Fujita, who will have hand surgery this week, on injured reserve. The team also placed defensive end Emmanuel Stephens (chest muscle) on injured reserve and signed free-agent long snapper Christian Yount to replace Ryan Pontbriand, who was waived earlier.
• Redskins fullback Darrel Young doesn't appear to have any lingering effects from a mild concussion, and he could return to action this week.
• Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin didn't practice because of a hamstring injury and probably will miss his third straight game.
