The Texans have signed veteran wide receiver Phillip Dorsett through the 2022 season to a deal that includes $300,000 guaranteed.
Dorsett received a $100,000 signing bonus and $200,000 of his $1.035 million base salary in 2022 is guaranteed for skill, injury and salary cap. He also has a $50,000 workout bonus.
Originally signed to the Texans' practice squad after being cut by the Seattle Seahawks, Dorsett is now the team's primary slot receiver after Davion Davis broke his left leg against Seattle on Sunday. Dorsett was signed to the 53-man roster last Saturday and caught one pass for 9 yards against Seattle.
Dorsett, 28, is a former Indianapolis Colts first-round draft pick from Miami.
He has also played for the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars.
In 2018, Dorsett caught seven passes for 66 yards and one touchdown in a game against the Texans.
For his career, Dorsett has caught 125 passes for 1,643 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Dorsett has run the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds with a 38-inch vertical leap.
A former track star at Miami and in high school, Dorsett finished his college career with 121 receptions for 2,132 yards and 17 touchdowns.
