Former Husker offensive tackle Brent Qvale reportedly reached a one-year deal with the Houston Texans, according to Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston.
Berman said on Twitter that NFL sources had confirmed the deal.
Qvale went undrafted in 2014 but the New York Jets signed him as a free agent. He played six seasons with the Jets, starting in 15 games.
Following a redshirt year, Qvale was a fixture on Nebraska's offensive line for four seasons (2010-13). He started five games his senior season.
