The Houston Texans are looking to strengthen their pass rush as they deal with injury challenges. Reports indicate that the team worked out Devean Deal, a defensive end who went undrafted from TCU and has previously been with the Seattle Seahawks.
During his college career, Deal recorded 176 tackles and 13.0 sacks over two years at TCU and three seasons at Tulane. The Texans have recently added linebacker Caleb Johnson to their roster but are still seeking further improvements due to injuries affecting key players.
Currently, the team is managing the absence of Jadeveon Clowney and Logan Hall, though specifics regarding their injuries have not been disclosed. The interest in Deal raises concerns about the team’s depth and potential roster changes.
Deal was let go by the Seahawks to accommodate new additions, which included undrafted rookie receivers Rashad Rochelle and Trayvon Rudolph. The Texans have also recently brought in veteran receivers Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones, while linebacker K.C. Ossai has been placed on injured reserve.
As the Texans gear up for the season, they aim to resolve their injury situation and enhance their defensive lineup ahead of their opener against the Buffalo Bills. The status of Deal remains uncertain as he has not yet been signed by the team.
