Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins is reuniting with the Houston Texans on a one-year, $7 million deal, ESPN reported Monday. Rankins, who turns 31 next month, previously played for the Texans in 2023 and contributed six sacks, 37 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in 15 starts. The Cincinnati Bengals released Rankins last month in a salary cap move. He joined the Bengals in free agency last March on a two-year, $24.5 million contract and played in seven games (all starts). He missed 10 games in 2024 due to illness and injury. His release saved the Bengals $9.
