As the Houston Texans finalize their roster to 53 players for the regular season, they’re also preparing their practice squad for 2024.
On Thursday, the Texans added quarterback Kedon Slovis, who was previously with the Indianapolis Colts, to their practice squad. After being waived on Sunday, the BYU alum has found a new opportunity in Houston. Slovis, who started his college career at USC before transferring to Pitt and finishing at BYU, accumulated 11,689 passing yards and 80 touchdowns over his five-year college tenure.
Slovis, who went undrafted, signed with the Colts post-draft and completed 16 of 22 passes for 149 yards during the preseason. His addition is intriguing for the Texans, particularly as backup quarterbacks Davis Mills and Case Keenum are set to have their contracts expire after this season. This could potentially open a spot for the 23-year-old Slovis as a future backup.
Despite a season-ending injury that limited him to eight games last year, where he recorded 1,716 yards and 15 touchdowns, Slovis might find himself as the third-string quarterback in Houston, with a chance to become a long-term backup in the NFL.
