Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins is reuniting with the Houston Texans on a one-year, $7 million deal, ESPN reported Monday.
Rankins, who turns 31 next month, previously played for the Texans in 2023 and contributed six sacks, 37 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in 15 starts.
The Cincinnati Bengals released Rankins last month in a salary cap move.
He joined the Bengals in free agency last March on a two-year, $24.5 million contract and played in seven games (all starts). He missed 10 games in 2024 due to illness and injury. His release saved the Bengals $9.6 million against the salary cap in 2025.
Rankins has 30.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and one interception in 116 games (73 starts) with the New Orleans Saints (2016-20), New York Jets (2021-22), Texans and Bengals.
The Saints drafted Rankins with the No. 12 overall pick in 2016.
