Texans bring in CB Brandon Williams for a visit, other workouts

The Houston Texans brought in CB Brandon Williams for a visit and DB Dravon Askew-Henry and OT Jalen Williams for a workout.

The Houston Texans continue their roster evaluation with three games to go in the regular season.

On Friday, the Texans had former Texas A&M cornerback Brandon Williams in for a visit. The former Arizona Cardinals 2016 third-round pick recently played six games with the New York Giants this season, recording one tackle on defense, as he was primarily on special teams. Williams played for the Cardinals from 2016-19, collecting 38 combined tackles and five pass breakups in 45 games, three of which he started.

Houston also brought in safety Dravon Askew-Henry, a former 2019 undrafted free agent from West Virginia, for a workout. Askew-Henry spent the 2019 offseason and preseason with the Pittsburgh Steelers before being cut at the end of preseason. During the regular season, he spent time on the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots practice squads. He played for the XFL’s New York Guardians, and was signed by the New York Giants in the offseason. The 6-0, 203-pounder was cut at the end of training camp.

The Texans also worked out former Cleveland State tackle Jalen Williams.
