After the Texans lost Tyrann Mathieu to the Chiefs and Kareem Jackson to the Broncos, Houston is reportedly set to sign former Jaguars safety Tashaun Gipson. Albert Breer is reporting that the deal is for 3-years, $22 million. Gipson started all 16 games for the Jags over the last three seasons and has 20 career interceptions. This will be his eighth year in the league and he is 28 years old. He will compete with Justin Reid and Andre Hal at safety.

New Texans S Tashaun Gipson is getting a 3-year deal worth a little more than $22 million, source said. Less than half what Earl Thomas was looking for.

The Houston Texans continue to make moves in the secondary adding former Broncos corner Bradley Roby on Tuesday afternoon. Roby will sign a 1-year deal for $10 million according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Roby will be 27 years old in May and is entering his 6th season in the league. Roby started 15 games in 2018 while recording 1 interception and 12 passes defended.

One of the main areas of improvement for the Texans this season, has been the running game with the addition of Joe Mixon.
Mixon rushed for 100 yards or more in 5 of his first 6 games with the team. But unfortunately for Houston, Mixon hasn't been nearly as effective recently.
When looking at his recent numbers, Mixon has failed to rush for more than 46 yards in 3 of his last 5 games. Posting only 26 rushing yards against Miami on Sunday.
With this in mind, is the state of Houston's run game a major concern, especially when the playoffs begin?
