The Houston Texans have signed free agent wide receiver Quintez Cephus, according to his agents.

SportsTrust Advisors announced the deal on Tuesday but did not disclose any contract terms.

Cephus, 26, missed the entire 2023 season while serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.

He was reinstated by the league in April and signed with the Buffalo Bills, who released him on May 16.

Cephus was a fifth-round pick by Detroit in 2020 and caught 37 passes for 568 yards and four touchdowns in 22 games (six starts) from 2020-22. The Lions released him after his suspension.
