Bryant was promoted to Houston's 53-man roster from the practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Adding Bryant to the 53-man is a reaction to Jalen Pitre's torn pectoral injury, which will sideline him indefinitely. Jimmie Ward will slot in a nickel cornerback for Pitre, while the versatile Bryant offers depth and nickel, outside corner and safety. Bryant can also return punts if needed.

Bryant signed a contract with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Bryant will suit up for a new franchise in 2024 after spending the first four years of his career in New England. The Washington product appeared in all 17 games last season, recording 77 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing two fumbles and grabbing an interception. The 26-year-old should have the opportunity to bolster the depth in Houston's secondary in the upcoming campaign.
Bryant failed to tally five total tackles for the fourth time in 10 games this season, but he salvaged his day by running under a tipped Gardner Minshew pass early in the third quarter to secure his first pick of the campaign. Opposing quarterbacks have mostly had their way with Bryant in 2023 though, and his tackle production isn't consistent enough to warrant IDP consideration in all but the deepest of formats.
