This offseason, the Houston Texans are connected to a number of well-known free agents. For the 2024 campaign, general manager Nick Caserio and coach DeMeco Ryans have started to make changes to their roster.
Cornerback D’Angelo Ross was re-signed by the Texans, the organisation announced on Wednesday morning. The Texans first signed the seasoned defensive back in November 2022. He started out as a member of the practice squad. However, Ross was unable to have an impact on the Texans in the regular season of 2023 owing to injuries.
He played 13 games while appearing in 258 defensive snaps. Ross played a role in helping the Texans take a 19-13 victory over the Tennesse Titans on Dec. 17.
“D’Angelo Ross did a really good job of covering,” Ryans said after the Texans victory. “Played with speed, played fast, played decisive. So, one positive that I would say was Cam and D’Angelo Ross – the way they played really stood out to me.”
Ross began his career as an undrafted free agent coming out of New Mexico following the 2019 NFL Draft. He signed with the New England Patriots and later joined the Miami Dolphins in 2022.
Despite the addition of Ross, the Texans will still be in need of a cornerback, especially when considering the potential loss of Steven Nelson, who is one of 25 players set to hit free agency in March. Ross was able to fill in for Nelson during the time he was playing through a foot injury.
On Tuesday, the Texans announced that the team signed defensive lineman Marcus Haynes. He is a second-year player who spent last season as part of the Denver Broncos practice squad roster. He signed with the Broncos after going undrafted following the 2023 NFL Draft.
