HOUSTON -- The Texans have signed veteran defensive end Jerry Hughes, the team announced Wednesday.
It marks a homecoming for Hughes, who is from Sugar Land, Texas, and played at Stephen F. Austin High School.
Hughes is the latest in the group of veteran defensive ends general manager Nick Caserio has added to bolster the Texans' defensive line. On Tuesday, the Texans announced they signed Hughes' former teammate with the Buffalo Bills, defensive end Mario Addison. Last week, Houston also added defensive end Rasheem Green.
One of the few players who were retained by the Bills from the previous regime when Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane took over, Hughes was the longest tenured Buffalo player last season.
