The Houston Texans are signing linebacker Christian Kirksey to a two-year extension, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Kirksey had 93 tackles, his most since 2017, and a career-high eight pass deflections in 13 games (12 starts) last season -- his first with the Texans.
A third-round pick in 2014, Kirksey spent the first six seasons of his career with the Cleveland Browns then one year with the Green Bay Packers before joining the Texans on a one-year, $4.5 million contract.
