The Texans' job of containing tight ends doesn't get any easier this week against the Tennessee Titans' Delanie Walker.
Walker is a compact, athletic presence downfield who's caught 15 passes for 168 yards this season. At 6-2, 248 pounds, Walker has plenty of speed and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds when he entered the league.
Named to the Pro Bowl twice, Walker caught 65 passes for 800 yards and seven touchdowns last season. For his career, he has 420 receptions for 4,982 yards and 31 touchdowns.
"Very athletic, seasoned tight end, can get out of his route pretty well, very physical good at creating space," Texans strong safety Corey Moore said.
