Dorsett with an Absolutely CRAZY Catch

DECEMBER 26, 2021 • YOUTUBE

Big catch in win Dorsett secured two of three targets for 43 yards in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact The veteran speedster got loose downfield for a 33-yard grab on one of his two catches and checked in a distant second to Brandin Cooks in receptions and receiving yards. The fact Dorsett was involved to an appreciable degree in only his second game with the Texans is encouraging, and although Houston is completely devoid of postseason aspirations, he and Cooks serve as an explosive receiving duo for rookie signal-caller Davis Mills for what's left of the regular season.

Heavy-ish workload Week 14 Dorsett caught one of three targets for nine yards and had one carry for no gain in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.

Impact Dorsett, who joined the Texans' organization 10 days ago, was put to immediate use after Davion Davis left the game with an ankle injury. He played 39 snaps (48 percent share), which is significant for a newcomer. Dorsett has very little experience in the offense or familiarity with rookie quarterback Davis Mills, but that could develop over the final weeks of the season if Davis is unavailable.

Moves up to active roster Dorsett was elevated to the active roster Saturday.

Impact It didn't take long for Dorsett to make his way up to the active roster after joining the practice squad earlier this week. As a result, the veteran wide receiver is now set to appear on his third team this season. The 28-year-old has just one reception despite being active for three games in 2021, but with the Texans lacking any reliable veteran targets outside of Brandin Cooks (back) and Chris Conley, it's possible Dorsett could be involved more Sunday.

DECEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Finds new home Dorsett signed with the Texans' practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Dorsett will join his third team of the season after spending time with Jacksonville and Seattle. With Danny Amendola (knee) being placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dorsett will try to provide some emergency depth for the Texans and ultimately earn another shot on an active roster.

DECEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Cut from practice squad The Seahawks cut Dorsett from their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Dorsett made two appearances for the Seahawks this season, catching his only target for three yards. After being let go by the Jaguars and Seahawks, the sixth-year wideout will now have to search of his third team this season.

OCTOBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Seattle Dorsett signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Dorsett was on the Seahawks' roster for the entire 2020 season, but he didn't play a game due to a foot injury. The 2015 first-round pick suited up for the Jaguars in Week 3 against the Cardinals but logged just one target on seven offensive snaps. He was subsequently cut. The speedster could get an opportunity if Tyler Lockett (hip) or DK Metcalf (foot) miss time.

Let go by Jacksonville The Jaguars released Dorsett from their practice squad Monday.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Signed to practice squad The Jaguars signed Dorsett to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Dorsett didn't make Jacksonville's initial 53-man roster, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him be bumped from the practice squad at some point in the 2021 season. The 2015 first-round pick missed all of 2020 due to a foot injury, and in the previous five seasons he operated as an occasional deep threat on offense for the Patriots and Colts.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Jags The Jaguars released Dorsett on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 2015 first-round pick has now bounced from Indianapolis to New England to Seattle to Jacksonville, catching 124 passes for 1,634 yards and 11 touchdowns in 71 regular-season games. The 28-year-old Dorsett has never managed to hold down a starting job for more than a few weeks at a time.

APRIL 5, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Proclaims full health Dorsett (foot) said at his introductory press conference with the Jaguars on Monday that he's back to 100 percent health, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Impact Dorsett's foot injury kept him from suiting up for a single game with the Seahawks last season, but it looks like he's already received full clearance after undergoing November surgery. The veteran speedster can be considered on track for the tentative start of Jacksonville's offseason program, which would allow him ample time to build chemistry with whichever quarterback the Jaguars select at No. 1 overall in April's draft. Clemson's Trevor Lawrence widely is considered to be the likeliest candidate for that honor.
