The Houston Texans are adding to the linebacker position, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

The #Texans add again, this time signing former #Raiders LB Denzel Perryman, sources say. The disruptive Pro Bowler had 154 tackles in 2021 and 14 tackles for loss last year. Now gets a 1-year deal in Houston for DeMeco Ryans.

The move comes after the team also added Cory Littleton, a teammate of Perryman’s in 2021 with the Raiders who played for the Carolina Panthers last season.

Littleton and Perryman represent two linebackers given the stamp of approval from new coach DeMeco Ryans, a linebacker himself during his playing career.
