The Houston Texans released the third-year wideout, the team announced on Monday.
The move comes as a slight surprise, but Strong played just 20 snaps and wasn’t targeted against the Bengals last Thursday night. He also missed the opener while serving a one-game suspension for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
Strong was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, in February 2016 on a marijuana possession charge.
On the field, the 2015 third-rounder played in 19 games for the Texans, hauling in 28 catches for 292 yards and three scores.
