The Texans are holding discussions with cornerback A.J. Bouye about a potential new contract.
Whether those talks will culminate in a deal remains undetermined.
Bouye is a restricted free agent whom the Texans can secure with a low tender or right of first refusal tender at a cost of $1.671 million.
If the Texans don't sign Bouye to a new contract by Wednesday afternoon or assign him a restricted free agent tender, he'll become an unrestricted free agent.
Bouye is a tall, sizable corner at 6-foot, 191 pounds.
As the Texans' fourth cornerback, Bouye played in 15 games and started twice last season for the AFC South champions.
