HOUSTON -- The Texans plan to sign safety Jahleel Addae, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The news was first reported by the Houston Chronicle.
The Texans were in need of a safety after Andre Hal retired last month. Addae will join 2018 third-round pick Justin Reid and free agent addition Tashaun Gipson in the secondary.
Last season, the Texans ranked 28th in the NFL in pass defense, allowing an average of 260 passing yards per game.
The hard-hitting Addae, who struggled with a move from strong safety to free safety in 2018, was released by the Los Angeles Chargers on March 9.
