Report: Texans Promote Anthony Weaver to Defensive Coordinator

The Texans have promoted defensive line coach Anthony Weaver to replace defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

NFL Network first reported that Crennel wasn't expected to return as Houston's DC. The Texans will reportedly have more meetings this week to decide if Crennel will continue to have a role with the team. His contract is expiring, but he could potentially return as a senior assistant or retire.

Crennel joined the Texans in 2014 and served as defensive coordinator until 2016. He was promoted to assistant coach when Mike Vrabel took over as defensive coordinator in 2017.
