Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Zach Orr is visiting with the Houston Texans on Monday, sources told Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Orr had retired due to a neck injury in January, but decided to resume his NFL career after getting medical clearance in June.

The 25-year-old has reportedly had visits with the Detroit Lions, New York Jets, and Indianapolis Colts. He received medical clearance from the Lions, but not a new contract.

Orr played three seasons for the Ravens after going undrafted in 2014 and amassed 132 tackles last season, which earned him second-team All-Pro honors. Some believe that Orr's neck injury is very risky to come back from.

The Texans are fairly strong at inside linebacker with Brian Cushing and Benardrick McKinney returning to their starting roles and second-rounder Zach Cunningham entering his rookie season, but could look to use Orr as added depth and injury insurance.
