The Texans brought in New York Jets safety Antonio Allen for a visit today.
Allen, 27, spent last season on injured reserve after suffering a torn Achilles tendon the first week of training camp last year.
Allen, 6-2, 210, was a seventh-round pick in 2012 from South Carolina. He started 17 games in 2013 and 2014.
Last week’s free agent shopping haul gave the Texans a huge lift on the way to possibly improving their record and taking a step closer to their ultimate goal. But the cake is not ready to go into the oven yet.
