The Houston Texans are still searching for roster help, leading them to Caleb Johnson.
"# Texans worked out veteran linebacker Caleb Johnson @HouChristianU today, per a league source," KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson reported on X on August 22. "Has 40 career tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, previously #Bears # Jaguars #Falcons #Dolphins."

Johnson, 28, is a former undrafted free agent. He has 67 games of regular-season experience under his belt, all as a reserve.
The Texans have battled injuries at linebacker since the offseason program.
Texans Eye Caleb Johnson for LB Help
Johnson could be a fitting addition to a Texans LB room that remains strong with Azeez Al-Shaair , Henry To'oTo'o, and rookie Wade Woodaz, who has operated as LB3 amid the injury to usual third starter E.J. Speed .
Speed suffered a quad injury during the Texans' offseason program.
They have also lost roster replacement Sione Takitaki , who was released due to injury less than two weeks after signing.

Johnson's ability to contribute on special teams is the clear appeal for the Texans, who did not have Woodaz on the field for practice on Saturday. He picked up a thumb injury in the preseason loss against the Las Vegas Raiders and was wearing a sling.
The Texans' injury list is extensive.
