Has Jon Weeks snapped his final ball to the Houston Texans? Maybe not, but the Texans are bringing in a backup plan just in case.
The Texans have agreed to terms with long-snapper Tucker Addington to a reserve-future deal, per his agent, Robert Sheets.
According to reports, the deal includes a $10,000 signing bonus.
Addington worked out for the Texans last offseason but did not sign a deal. He was signed to the Miami Dolphins and even played in the Week 15 game against the Texans en route to their AFC South championship victory.
