The Houston Texans believe they may have something in Phillip Gaines and will extend the former Rice cornerback to a one year deal, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. The Texans signed Gaines heading into the second game of the 2019 regular season after releasing Aaron Colvin.
Gaines saw action in six games with the Texans with injuries taking a toll in the secondary before he was shut down for the rest of the season with an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Re-signing Gaines makes sense as a low-risk move with the uncertainty regarding the other cornerbacks hitting free agency for the Texans.
