With Will Fuller out for the season due to a torn ACL, the Houston Texans are looking for a replacement at the wide receiver position to play alongside DeAndre Hopkins. One of the names that come up is former Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant, who has been out of a job since being released by the Cowboys in April.

However, it doesn't look like the Texans are ready to commit to the former All-Pro wideout. Per the Houston Chronicle, Texans head coach Bill O'Brien shared his thoughts on his team's current receiver situation:

I would say my answer to that is we explore everything,” O'Brien said. “I think that’s kind of the job, one of the main jobs of, obviously, [general manager] Brian (Gaine) and then he brings things to me and then we talk and we communicate.

“I would say we explore everything, including our own team. How can we use this guy in maybe another position? Or do this, can we do that? We look at our own team first in addition to looking at what’s going outside. That would be my general answer to that.”

Bryant has 7,459 career receiving yards and 73 touchdowns over his eight-year career. He is also a former high school player for Lufkin High School, the same high school that Texans rookie receiver Keke Coutee attended.

The signing of Bryant will look to be beneficial for both him and the Texans as he won't be asked to be no. 1 receiving target unlike his previous situation with the Cowboys. Also, he will thrive playing with a quarterback in DeShaun Watson who is not bashful at making downfield passes.
