Carrington (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Texans on Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Carrington signed with Houston just one week ago, but had been sidelined for undisclosed reasons during the majority of his stay. The injury is presumed to be related to the season-ending quadriceps tear he suffered in 2015, since his contract included an accompanying injury waiver. Thus, his release terminates the one-year, $760,000 contract he inked last Tuesday as he was unable to remain healthy.

After appearing in eight games for the Rams last year, Carrington returns to Buffalo where he spent the first four years of his career. At this point he is really looking for some snaps in the defensive line rotation, but he has started nine games for the Bills in the past.
Carrington had a decent couple years in Buffalo before missing most of 2013 with injury. The Rams are hoping he can stay healthy and provide some depth behind Michael Brockers and Kendall Langford.
Carrington has the size and athleticism to surprise as a pass-rushing defensive tackle off the bench. A lot of things will have to go his way for him to be an IDP contributor in 2013, but there is a sliver of hope if he can get a chance to show what he can do.
Carrington will move to defensive tackle this season after playing some defensive end as well as linebacker during his first two up-and-down seasons. He'll provide depth behind Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus, a spot that doesn't offer much IDP value.
Third-rounder in 2010 will likely slot in as a backup defensive end. With Marcus Stroud gone from last season, there's a chance Carrington could end up in a regular rotation.
The Bills selected Carrington with the 72nd overall pick in the 2010 draft. He'll likely be a backup DE in his first season, but could see a decent amount of time as part of a rotation should he impress in the summer.
