The Houston Texans are getting some help after losing two of their best defenders on Sunday.
With season-ending injuries to defensive end J.J. Watt and linebacker Whitney Mercilus, the Texans are signing defensive linemen Kendall Langford and linebacker Lamarr Houston, according to Stephen Holder of the Indy Star and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Langford started the season with the New Orleans Saints, but was not active for any games. The 31-year-old had played the previous two years as a starter for the Indianapolis Colts.
Houston, an Oakland Raiders second-round pick in 2010, played the last three years with the Chicago Bears, amassing a career-high eight sacks in 2015, though he only played in two contests last season.
