Veteran receivers Bryant Johnson and Roy Williams will try out with the Texans today, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Johnson, 31, played last season with the Texans, catching six passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. Because he’s familiar with the offensive coaches and the system, he may have a better chance than Williams.
Coach Gary Kubiak wants to sign a veteran receiver. Behind starters Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter, the Texans have three receivers – Lestar Jean, DeVier Posey and Keshawn Martin – who don’t have a catch in the NFL.
Williams, 30, is a native Texan who grew up in Odessa and played at the University of Texas before Detroit drafted him in the first round. He also played with Dallas and Chicago.
Johnson, entering his 10th season, was a first-round pick by Arizona. He also played with San Francisco and Detroit before signing with the Texans last season.
