The Houston Texans are looking to enhance their pass rush as they prepare for the upcoming season. They recently evaluated defensive end Devean Deal, a player who went undrafted from TCU and has prior experience with the Seattle Seahawks.
During his collegiate career, Deal recorded a total of 176 tackles and 13 sacks, playing two years at TCU and three seasons at Tulane. The Texans are currently managing several injury issues, including the absence of Jadeveon Clowney and Logan Hall, though the specific reasons for their injuries have not been disclosed.
In addition to signing linebacker Caleb Johnson, the team is considering various strategies to bolster its roster. The Seahawks released Deal to accommodate new additions, which included undrafted rookie receivers Rashad Rochelle and Trayvon Rudolph. Similarly, the Texans 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, the situation regarding Deal remains uncertain, with no contract finalized yet.
