US EditionTexans sign safety Jalen Mills to bolster position with C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Jimmie Ward, Jaylen Reed sidelined
HOUSTON, TEXAS, AUG 10 – The Texans signed Mills after injuries sidelined key safeties including C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Jimmie Ward, addressing a critical depth issue in their defense.
- The Houston Texans signed veteran free-agent safety Jalen Mills on Sunday morning to strengthen their depleted secondary.
- This signing occurred after Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson sustained a knee injury during Thursday's practice and Jimmie Ward was taken into custody for breaching his bond conditions.
- Mills, 31, has played nine seasons in the NFL, including the 2024 season with the New York Jets, where he appeared in nine games and recorded 44 total tackles along with six pass breakups.
- He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round in 2016, helped them win Super Bowl LII, transitioned to safety in 2020, and also played for the Patriots and Giants.
- The Texans expect Mills to contribute quickly as they cope with Gardner-Johnson’s injury, Ward’s ongoing legal issues, and rookie Jaylen Reed’s ankle injury.
