The Houston Texans announced the signing of defensive end Derek Parish on Wednesday. This move comes as Parish looks to re-enter the NFL after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he was a seventh-round draft pick in 2023 and did not make the final roster.
At 27 years old, Parish is expected to participate in the Texans' upcoming preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. His addition to the team comes as fellow defensive players Jadeveon Clowney and Dominique Robinson are dealing with injuries, which may open up opportunities for Parish to showcase his skills on the field.
Further details regarding the terms of the contract have not been disclosed, and it remains unclear how Parish will fit into the Texans' defensive strategy moving forward.
