Ulrick John is looking for his next gig. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle writes that the veteran offensive lineman worked out for the Texans on Friday.
The Georgia State product has bounced around the league since being selected in the seventh-round of the 2014 draft. John has had stints with the Colts, Dolphins, Cardinals, Packers, Patriots, and Saints, appearing in a total of 10 games (three starts). The 27-year-old spent the preseason with New Orleans, but he was released with an injury settlement after suffering a high-ankle sprain.
The Texans are in need of some offensive line depth after they placed Senio Kelemete on the injured reserve earlier this week. Seantrel Henderson also missed practices this week as he dealt with an illness.
John wasn’t the only play to audition for the Texans yesterday. Wilson relays that the team also worked out a handful of defensive backs, including Mike Adams, Marcus Gilchrist, Jonathan Owens and Jordan Richards. The Texans ultimately opted to sign nobody.
Texans try out a new JOHN !!
