The Houston Texans are keeping things interesting as they explore potential roster upgrades — and their latest move has fans buzzing. The team recently hosted a workout for former Detroit Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs, sparking immediate speculation about what it could mean for their secondary.
Jacobs, known for his physical play and fiery attitude, was a key contributor for Detroit before injuries and depth chart changes limited his role. Now a free agent, he’s clearly drawing interest around the league — and Houston’s decision to bring him in suggests they’re looking to add more experience and toughness to their defensive backfield.
This workout comes amid a flurry of player visits for the Texans, signaling that general manager Nick Caserio isn’t satisfied with standing pat. Whether Jacobs earns a deal or not, his visit points to Houston’s intent to stay aggressive and versatile heading into the second half of the season.
If signed, Jacobs could bring much-needed depth, special teams value, and the kind of edge that fits perfectly into head coach DeMeco Ryans’ defensive philosophy.
