The Houston Texans are signing free-agent safety Jalen Mills, ESPN reported Sunday.
Mills’ reported addition to the Texans comes on the heels of C.J..Gardner-Johnson sustaining a right leg injury in practice on Thursday and fellow safety Jimmie Ward being arrested later that evening for violating conditions of his release in a separate legal matter.
Mills, 31, recorded 44 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble in nine games (eight starts) last season with the New York Jets.
A seventh-round pick by Philadelphia in 2016, Mills has eight interceptions, 59 passes broken up and 450 tackles in 115 games (91 starts) with the Eagles (2016-20) and Patriots (2021-23) and Jets (2024).
He won the Super Bowl LII championship with the Eagles after the 2017 season.
