The Houston Texans are adding another former cornerback from DeMeco Ryans’ time with the San Francisco 49ers
The team announced Wednesday they have signed former San Diego Chargers and 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett to the practice squad.
The former 2014 first-rounder has been hobbled with injuries since 2017 when a knee injury limited the TCU product to one game. In 2018, Verrett tore his Achilles in training camp, and then signed with the 49ers in 2019 where he played just one game before an ankle injury claimed his season.
The only season where Verrett has been healthy since leaving the Chargers is in 2020. Verrett generated 60 combined tackles, two interceptions, and seven pass breakups through 13 games for the 49ers.
In 2021, Verrett played one game as he tore his ACL in Week 1. In 2022, a stint on the PUP list delayed his start to the season, which was short-lived anyway given he tore his Achilles in November.
