The Houston Texans are getting help along the interior of their defensive line.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans were awarded defensive tackle Albert Huggins off waivers Monday. The former undrafted free agent from Clemson returns to the Texans for a second time.
On Oct. 22, 2019, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Huggins off the Texans’ practice squad. The Eagles waived Huggins on Nov. 30, and the New England Patriots claimed him on Dec. 2, where he spent five days with the club before being waived. The Eagles brought back Huggins on Dec. 10, and he signed a reserve-future contract with Philadelphia at the end of the season.
Texans gave former prep All-American DL Albert Huggins $40,000 guaranteed last year when he went undrafted out of Clemson. Now, he's back with the Texans for second time after being claimed off waivers from Eagles. He also had brief stint with Patriots last season.

Though the announcement of defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes’ opt-out for the 2020 season came on Tuesday morning, the Huggins’ signing gives Houston a player who is familiar with first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.
