Texans sign LS Blake Ferguson
by from on (#6ZEM9)
The Texans have added an experienced long snapper to the roster.
They announced the signing of Blake Ferguson on Wednesday. Tight end Tre' McKitty was waived in a corresponding move.
Ferguson was a 2020 sixth-round pick by the Dolphins and signed a three-year extension with the team in 2023, but he spent most of last season on the non-football injury list and the Dolphins released him earlier this year. Ferguson had eight tackles and a fumble recovery in 72 games for Miami.
The Texans had undrafted rookie Austin Brinkman as the only long snapper on the 90-man roster prior to Wednesday's move. They parted ways with longtime long snapper Jon Weeks this offseason.
