Texans' secondary needs work after loss of A.J. Bouye and Quintin Demps

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans' secondary, which ranked second in the NFL in passing yards allowed last season, took a hit on Thursday, losing cornerback A.J. Bouye to the Jacksonville Jaguars and safety Quintin Demps to the Chicago Bears.

The Texans will have to add to the group, which allowed an average of 202 passing yards per game in the 2016 regular season, either through free agency or the draft.

Bouye, a former undrafted free agent, started the season as the Texans’ No. 4 cornerback, behind veterans Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson and 2015 first-round pick Kevin Johnson.
