Rankins and the Texans reunited during the offseason, as the 31-year-old defensive tackle climbed aboard on a one-year contract. He was a stout mainstay on Houston's front line in 2023, when he recorded 29 tackles and 6.0 sacks. Houston wanted him back for 2024 but were outbid. Rankins, who missed the final seven games of 2024 with a non-football illness, will rejoin the rotation at DT where the Texans currently have Folorunso Fatukasi, Mario Edwards and Tim Settle.
