The Houston Texans are looking to bolster their defensive lineup as they face injury challenges. Recently, the team evaluated defensive end Devean Deal, an undrafted free agent who played at TCU and has prior experience with the Seattle Seahawks.
During his college career, Deal recorded 176 tackles and 13 sacks across two seasons at TCU and three at Tulane. The Texans, who recently signed linebacker Caleb Johnson, are considering ways to enhance their roster due to the absence of players like Jadeveon Clowney and Logan Hall, though the reasons for their injuries remain unspecified.
Deal's previous stint with the Seahawks ended when he was released to accommodate new additions, including undrafted rookie receivers Rashad Rochelle and Trayvon Rudolph. The Texans have also added veteran receivers Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones while placing linebacker K.C. Ossai on injured reserve.
As the team prepares for the upcoming season, they are actively seeking to address their injury issues and improve their defensive capabilities ahead of their regular-season opener against the Buffalo Bills. The situation regarding Deal is ongoing, and he has not yet been signed by the Texans.
