Former Detroit Lions safety and special teams ace C.J. Moore has signed onto the Houston Texans practice squad, per Tuesday’s NFL transaction report.
Moore originally signed with the Lions out of the University of Mississippi in 2019 and he made the 53-man roster his rookie season behind his stellar special teams play. Moore began his professional career as a gunner, but switched to a personal protector role in his second year and thrived there over the next two seasons.
While Moore was only sparsely used on defense during his time in Detroit—just 238 defensive snaps over three seasons—but he was a reliable fourth safety.
