Alex Erickson: Heads to Houston
Erickson signed with the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.
Erickson played in the final three regular-season games for the Patriots this season, seeing work as a return man. He'll now latch on with the Texans, filling a hole on their practice squad left by Jared Wayne's elevation to the active roster.

Alex Erickson: Lands back on practice squad
Erickson reverted to New England's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Erickson got his third straight elevation ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Bills and saw action on offense for the first time this season, logging 14 offensive snaps without getting any targets. He also worked as the Patriots' primary return man, returning one kick for 16 yards and two punts for 26 yards. After catching 16 passes for 232 yards and one touchdown over eight games with the Chargers last year, Erickson was a free agent for most of the 2024 campaign, as he didn't latch on with New England's practice squad until mid-December.

Patriots' Alex Erickson: Elevated for regular-season finale
New England elevated Erickson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.
Erickson accumulated 90 kick return yards and 15 punt return yards during the Patriots' Week 17 loss to the Chargers. He's exclusively played on special teams over the past two weeks and will likely reprise that role during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills.

Patriots' Alex Erickson: Elevated again for Week 17
The Patriots elevated Erickson from their practice squad to the active roster Friday ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Chargers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Erickson has been elevated for the second straight week since signing with the Patriots' practice squad Dec. 18. Last Sunday against Buffalo, he logged seven snaps, all of which came on special teams. Erickson figures to work primarily in that role again Sunday, as New England's wideout corps is relatively healthy.

Patriots' Alex Erickson: Elevated to face Buffalo
Erickson was elevated from New England's practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.
Erickson just joined the organization Wednesday. He likely doesn't know the playbook well enough yet to contribute significantly on offense as a wide receiver, but Erickson also has extensive experience as a return man and could be deployed in that special teams role.

Alex Erickson: Joins Patriots' practice squad
New England signed Erickson to its practice squad Wednesday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Erickson appeared in eight games with the Chargers in 2023, but he's spent the whole of the 2024 season so far in free agency. The Patriots have, arguably, the most shallow group of wide receivers in the league, so it's not out of the question that he could find his way onto the field before the year ends.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Two more catches in loss
Erickson caught two of his five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Chiefs.
The 31-year-old joined the active roster Week 11 and, after injuries to Joshua Palmer (knee) and Keenan Allen (heel), somewhat miraculously emerged as the team's top target. finishing with 16 receptions for 232 yards, both of them higher figures than his past three seasons combined. It's safe to say the veteran wideout won't be a highly sought-after free agent despite the positive small sample size, but it's possible Erickson could at least make a preseason roster given his special teams acumen.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Breaks out with 98 yards
Erickson made seven receptions on eight targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos.
A slew of injuries to the Chargers' receiving corps opened the door for Erickson to secure a bigger role on offense in recent weeks. The undrafted Wisconsin product took full advantage of that opportunity Sunday, when he finished as his team's leading receiver across the board. The Chargers aren't getting healthier anytime soon, so Erickson should have another opportunity to put his skills on display against the Chiefs in Week 18.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Secures two catches in loss
Erickson caught both of his targets for 31 yards in the 24-22 loss to the Bills on Saturday.
It appears as if Erickson has overtaken Jalen Guyton as the team's No. 4 wideout, a role that has seen more work in the two-game absence of Keenan Allen (heel). Despite the increase in playing time, the 31-year-old did very little, tallying just his seventh total catch this season.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: One touchdown in blowout loss
Erickson caught one of his two targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the 63-21 drubbing at the hands of the Raiders on Thursday.
For a fifth consecutive game, Erickson tallied just a single catch despite registering 13 targets combined over the past four games. The Chargers' passing attack could see some significant changes in the coming weeks with head coach Brandon Staley now gone, but it's hard to imagine the 31-year-old Erickson really benefitting with the team now essentially out of playoff contention.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Fails to capitalize
Erickson brought in one of his seven targets for nine yards against the Broncos in Sunday's 24-7 loss.
With injury issues plaguing the Chargers receiving corps, Erickson has seen an increased involvement in the offense but has failed to record a game with more than one reception in his four appearances this season. The eye-popping target figure was matched by an equally shocking inefficiency, and it's not like the 31-year-old was targeted all that often deep, save for a shot early in the first half with Justin Herbert still healthy. Wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) could return to action this week, which would relegate Erickson further down the depth chart, and the offense as a whole looks far less enticing with Herbert (finger) now done for the season.

Chargers' Alex Erickson: Signs with active roster
The Chargers signed Erickson to their active roster Saturday.
Erickson is joining Los Angeles' active roster for the third consecutive week. This move likely comes to ensure depth at wide receiver, as both Mike Williams (knee) and Joshua Palmer (knee) remain on injured reserve. In Erickson's two appearances this season, the Wisconsin product has caught two of his four targets for 29 yards.
