The Houston Texans are looking to enhance their pass rush by evaluating defensive end Devean Deal, an undrafted free agent from TCU. This comes as the team faces injury concerns, particularly with key players Jadeveon Clowney and Logan Hall absent from practice, though the reasons for their absence have not been disclosed.
Deal, who previously spent time with the Seattle Seahawks, had a notable college career, recording 176 total tackles and 13.0 sacks during his time at TCU and Tulane. The Texans, who recently signed linebacker Caleb Johnson, are exploring further options to bolster their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The situation with Deal is still developing, and while he has emerged as a potential addition, he has not yet been signed by the Texans. The team is also adjusting its roster dynamics, having recently added veteran receivers Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones while placing linebacker K.C. Ossai on injured reserve.
As the Texans gear up for their regular-season opener against the Buffalo Bills, addressing these injury issues remains a priority.
