The Houston Texans announced the signing of defensive end Derek Parish to a contract on Wednesday. Parish, who previously went undrafted, had been unable to secure a spot on the Jacksonville Jaguars' 53-man roster after being selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
At 27 years old, Parish is eager to make his mark in the league and is expected to participate in the Texans' preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. This opportunity comes as the team deals with injuries to Jadeveon Clowney, who is recovering from an ankle issue, and Dominique Robinson, who is managing a calf injury.
Further details regarding the terms of Parish's contract have not yet been disclosed.
