Texans Sign DE Derek Parish

The Texans made the move after losing Horton to injury, while also placing linebacker Marte Mapu on injured reserve. Parish, a 2023 seventh-round pick by the Jaguars who never played in a regular season game, most recently played for the UFL's DC Defenders. mchezo.life

Parish had 23 tackles, four tackles for loss, three sacks and a forced fumble for the Defenders this spring. The 6-foot-4, 265-pound defensive end will provide depth for Houston's defensive line as they look to replace Horton's production.
