Four-time All-Pro eyeing NFL return with Texans

At first glance, you wouldn't assume that the Houston Texans defense would be in need of any reinforcements. This unit, coached up by DeMeco Ryans and defensive coordinator Matt Burke, is among the league's best defenses by any metric you could find, but strangely, depite boasting one of the league's best secondaries, it's a group that has thinned significantly throughout the season.

Consider: CJ Gardner-Johnson's tenure with the Texans lasted as long as it takes to say, "Houston, we have a problem." MJ Stewart and Jaylin Smith are both on the IR, Jimmie Ward is still dealing with injury/legal troubles, and Jaylen Reed has already been ruled out for Sunday's game.
