The Houston Texans announced the re-signing of defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi on Tuesday.

Terms were not disclosed by the Texans, who waived cornerback Gregory Junior in a corresponding move.

Fatukasi, 30, recorded one sack and 24 tackles in 11 games (all starts) in his first season with Houston in 2024.

The 6-foot-4, 318-pound run stopper has 187 tackles (27 for loss) and 5.5 sacks in 86 games (63 starts) with the New York Jets (2018-21), Jacksonville Jaguars (2022-23) and Texans.

The Jets drafted Fatukasi in the sixth round out of UConn in 2018.

Junior, 25, tallied 17 tackles in 10 games (no starts) with the Jaguars from 2022-23 and spent part of 2024 on the Texans' practice squad.
