The Houston Texans found their punter.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Texans are signing punter Bryan Anger to a three-year extension. The terms of the deal are not yet known.
Anger, 31, signed-on with the Texans on July 23. He did not make the roster, losing the job to Trevor Daniel. However, on Sept. 17, before Houston’s Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Charger, he signed back with Texans.
On 40 punts in 2019, Anger has 1,846 yards, good for an average of 46.2 yards per punt. He has a long of 71 yards on the season. He has sent 21 boots inside the 20 and has a net average of 44.1 yards per.
The Texans rank tops in the NFL in punt return yards allowed with 73.
“Anger‘s done a good job. He’s flipped the field for us,,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said of Anger on Dec. 11. “He’s punted well. He’s come in here and he’s a good teammate. He does a really good job as a teammate and I think he’s punted well.”
Anger was a third-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012 out of California. He moved on to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016 and finally the Texans in 2019.
