Waived yesterday by the Texans, return specialist Trindon Holiday wasn’t out of work long.

According to his agent’s Twitter account, Holiday was claimed Thursday by the Denver Broncos.

The 5-foot-5 Holiday scored three touchdowns on returns in the preseason, but his regular season numbers weren’t as impressive, averaging 19.4 yards per kickoff return and 9.2 yards per punt return.

Of course, the Broncos are averaging an anemic 18.9 yards per kickoff and 7.4 per punt, so he looks like an upgrade.
