Texans Sign Former Pro Bowler Devin White

The Houston Texans have signed former Pro Bowl linebacker Devin White to bolster their injury-depleted linebacker corps. White, a former fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, previously played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had a brief tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he did not see any game action. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized that the team is giving White an opportunity to compete and contribute, addressing the absence of starters Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o due to injuries. White's impressive track record includes 566 tackles, 23 sacks, and a key role in the Buccaneers' Super Bowl LV victory. His signing is seen as a potential turning point for the Texans as they look to maintain their strong start to the season. White's familiarity with other former LSU players on the team may help him adapt quickly to his new environment.
