The Texans are signing veteran cornerback Fabian Moreau, according to a league source.
Moreau is a former Washington football team third-round draft pick from UCLA who played last season for the Atlanta Falcons.
Moreau, 28, should provide experienced depth to a cornerback position bolstered by the additions of first-round draft pick Derek Stingley Jr. and new starter Steven Nelson this offseason.
Cornerback is a position that Texans coach Lovie Smith has referenced multiple times as an area in need of improvement.
Moreau (6-foot, 204 pounds) has run the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds.
He started every game last season for the Falcons and had 61 tackles and a career-high 11 passes defensed.
He had six interceptions in Washington, including a career-high three interceptions in 2019 and three forced fumbles in 2018. For his career, he has 186 tackles and four for losses.
