Overview
- Houston signed offensive tackle Derrick Graham following a successful workout, a roster move that came after the release of Sidy Sow and adds competition for backup and rotation spots.
- Graham is listed at 6-foot-4 and 314 pounds and played at Troy, Texas A&M and Tulane before entering the NFL landscape as an undrafted prospect.
- He has a coaching link to Texans offensive line coach Cole Popovich from their time at Troy and is also a second-generation NFL player whose father spent nine seasons in the league.
- Scouts describe Graham as a technically sound, versatile tackle who can contribute on special teams and step in as an immediate depth piece while he develops strength and consistency.
- The signing continues a broader Texans offensive-line rebuild that includes re-signings, veteran additions and 2026 draft picks, and it sets up an open competition in training camp for depth and future starting roles.
