The 33-year-old, 11-year veteran lineman signed a one-year deal worth $4.25 million, with a maximum of $5 million, with the Texans in March. Tomlinson, a 2021 Pro Bowler, brings consistency to a unit trying to find its footing again. The left guard has played every offensive snap for the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, and New York Jets since 2019 and hasn't missed a game since 2017.
The veteran appeared on Texans Radio Monday to discuss the offensive line's progression and his transition to Houston, which has so far felt natural.
Part of the Texans' appeal was having familiar faces on the team, like linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and safety Jimmy Ward from his time with the San Francisco 49ers.
