The Houston Texans have bolstered their offensive line by signing veteran tackle Trent Brown to a one-year deal, worth up to $3 million. Brown, a former Pro Bowler, has struggled with injuries, limiting him to just three games last season. His past experience with offensive coordinator Nick Caley and line coach Cole Popovich from his time with the New England Patriots could play a vital role in his integration with the Texans. Brown's versatility allows him to play both left and right tackle, making him an invaluable asset as he competes for a spot on the 53-man roster against Tytus Howard, Blake Fisher, and Cam Robinson.

Despite a rocky injury history, including a significant knee injury last season, Brown's potential to stabilize the Texans' offensive line is noteworthy. His presence is particularly crucial following Laremy Tunsil's trade to the Washington Commanders, which has left the Texans seeking reliable depth at the tackle position. With training camp approaching, Brown's performance will be closely monitored as the Texans aim for improved offensive line play to support their young quarterback.
