The Houston Texans are adding a little more depth to their tackle situation.
The club announced Tuesday they had made a waiver claim for Jacky Chen of the Minnesota Vikings.
Chen joined the Vikings as an undrafted free agent from Pace University in the New York City area. The international management major was invited to play at the East-West Shrine Bowl after the season.
The 6-6, 310-pound offensive lineman played three snaps for the Vikings in their 24-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks last week. All three snaps were on special teams.
The Texans are still working through their tackle depth as right guard Tytus Howard recovers from a broken left hand and fourth-year Charlie Heck works his way off the physically unable to perform list.
