The Houston Texans have signed former Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Matt Kalil to a one-year contract, according to multiple reports.
Kalil, a 29-year-old left tackle, missed the 2018 season with a knee injury. The Panthers released him last week.
Former Carolina general manager Dave Gettleman signed Kalil in free agency before the 2017 season to fill a void on the line and unite the former first-round pick by Minnesota with his brother and longtime Carolina center Ryan Kalil, who retired after this past season.
The five-year, $55.5 million deal for a player who missed most of the 2016 season with a hip injury was highly criticized by league pundits.
