The Houston Texans suffered a big injury, losing C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a serious leg injury during practice. The Super Bowl champion defensive back was originally feared to be lost for the season, but recent tests show that may not be the case.

Regardless, the Texans needed to bring in reinforcements to fill the whole that Gardner-Johnson leaves empty, and they've now done that.

According to Jordan Schultz, the Texans are signing former New England Patriots defensive back Jalen Mills. Mills has also spent time with the Eagles and New York Jets.

On top of Gardner-Johnson's injury, Jimmie Ward is also dealing with a legal issue, so bringing in Mills as a backup plan makes sense.
