The Houston Texans are exploring options to bolster their pass rush, particularly behind starters Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. The team is looking at defensive end Devean Deal, who previously played for TCU and Tulane, where he recorded 176 tackles and 13 sacks during his college career. Deal was undrafted and had a stint with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this year.

In light of injury challenges, including the absence of Jadeveon Clowney and Logan Hall, the Texans are assessing their roster depth. They recently signed linebacker Caleb Johnson and are considering further additions. The interest in Deal highlights the team's need for more defensive strength as they prepare for the regular season opener against the Buffalo Bills.

The Texans also recently added veteran receivers Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones, while linebacker K.C. Ossai has been placed on injured reserve. Although Deal has emerged as a potential candidate for the team, he has not yet been signed, and the situation remains uncertain.
