The Houston Texans are clearly dissatisfied with what they have on their roster. Enough so that the Texans are eyeing former Chicago Bears draft pick Trenton Gill .
The Texans had already made plans with two outsiders, and they added two more on Thursday.
The unfortunate part is that the Texans created their own issue, have tried to course-correct ever since, and will likely face what may have been a superior alternative all along multiple times this coming season.
On Wednesday, reports surfaced that the Texans were set to work out two puntersârookie Chris Freeman and veteran Jack Browning âdespite having two on the roster. As it turns out, the Texans worked out four punters on Thursday.
â#Texans specialist workout today included punters Trenton Gill #Bears # Broncos # Buccaneers # Falcons and former Tampa Bay punter Jack Browning, kickers Chris Freeman @UConnFootball and Will Ferrin # Jets @BYUfootball, per league sources,â KPRC 2âs Aaron Wilson reported on X on August 6.
Like Freeman, Ferrin is a college free agent, though both have been in camps with teams this offseason.
Gill was a seventh-round pick, taken 255th overall in the 2022 drraft by the Bears.
The 27-year-old was out of the NFL in 2025. He signed with the Atlanta Falcons in January, and he re-signed on a futures contract this offseason. But the two sides parted ways in April, leaving Gill in search of his next opportunity.
That could be with the Texans, who traded for second-year UDFA Kai Kroeger and signed Jack Stonehouse
