Report: Texans sign DL, claim G off waivers, place OL on IR

The Houston Texans added a defensive tackle, claimed a guard off waivers, and placed an undrafted rookie offensive lineman on injured reserve.

The Houston Texans addressed their defensive line and also made moves to their offensive line.

According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the Texans signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Khalil Davis, who previously had a workout with the team. The 6-1, 308-pounder has spent the spring with the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions, winning a championship this season.

The Texans claimed Washington guard Keaton Sutherland off waivers. The Texas A&M product has appeared in six career games during his time with the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins from 2019-21. Both of Sutherland’s career starts came in 2019 with Miami.

As a corresponding move, the Texans placed former Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman D.J. Scaife on injured reserve as he sustained a season-ending leg injury.

Texans sign former Miami OL D.J. Scaife

The Houston Texans have signed former Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman D.J. Scaife.

The Houston Texans have at least compensated for the loss of center Scott Quessenberry on the roster.

Houston announced Friday they have signed undrafted free agent offensive lineman D.J. Scaife.

The former Miami product has versatility as both a guard and a tackle, mostly on the right side. Scaife started 32 games at right tackle and another 20 at right guard during his tenure with the Hurricanes.

The Miami Dolphins signed Scaife after the draft, and released the 6-4, 314-pounder after rookie minicamp. Scaife also spent time with the Green Bay Packers this offseason.

The Texans also announced they have placed Quessenberry on injured reserve.
