The Houston Texans have strengthened their linebacker unit by signing former Pro Bowler Devin White to a one-year contract. White, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, had a brief stint with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason but did not secure a position.

Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke expressed optimism about White's experience and past performance, highlighting the potential for him to adapt to the team's system. This signing represents a low-risk, high-reward opportunity for the Texans as they look to enhance their linebacker depth.

White may make his debut with the Texans in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts, offering the team a chance to bolster their defense as they navigate the season.
