Wide receiver Darnell Jenkins was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.  Jenkins has been around since training camp and will most likely take Molden's gunner spot on special teams.

Darnell Jenkins was signed to the Texans practice squad. The Browns signed Lance Leggett to their practice squad. Buck Ortega was signed to the New Orleans Saints practice squad. Glenn Sharpe was signed as a safety on Atlanta's practice squad.

Among ex-UM players cut the past two days in the NFL: Lance Leggett and Derrick Morse (Cleveland), Darnell Jenkins (Houston), Glenn Sharpe (Atlanta), Andrew Bain (Giants), Tanard Davis (St. Louis) and Teraz McCray (Buffalo). The 49ers earlier cut Kyle Wright.

With nine receivers on the roster, and the top 5 pretty much now set in stone with the loss of Harry Williams - Jenkins might be a guy that doesn’t last past Tuesday. All I’ve ever heard Gary Kubiak say about him is that he has great speed, and he made some plays in OTAs. He might get cut, but he could also be a very strong practice squad candidate.

One to watch: Darnell Jenkins, Receiver
An undrafted rookie, Darnell Jenkins is intriguing the Texans with his speed at the receiver position.

He bounced back from a torn ACL in 2006 to finish with 31 catches for 619 yards and two touchdowns as a senior for the Miami Hurricanes. Jenkins had three 100-yard receiving games in his final year.

The Texans have four solid receivers, but if a newcomer can impress on special teams and fit well into the offense, he could earn his way onto the team.

Jenkins also will be eligible for the practice squad.

Along with playing football, Jenkins was a member of Miami's indoor track and field team. He graduated in December 2006 with a degree in liberal arts and is pursuing a second degree in sociology.
