Report: Texans bring ex-Patriots offensive tackle Antonio Garcia for a visit

The Houston Texans are evaluating the veteran talent that is currently in the free agency pool.

According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans brought in former New England Patriots offensive tackle Antonio Garcia for a visit.

The Patriots drafted Garcia in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft, but he never played a game for the AFC East club. Garcia developed blood clots in his lungs, and it impacted his ability to practice with the team. New England waived the 6-7, 300-pound tackle in May of 2018 after he spent all of his rookie year on the non-football illness list.
