The Houston Texans have added a couple of familiar faces to their 53-man roster. According to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero, the team has signed wide receiver Chris Conley and running back Royce Freeman:

Conley and Freeman were both recent cuts before yesterday's 53-man roster cutdown, so the team likely only released them as a procedural move. Both players saw regular season action for the Texans last season, with Conley playing 623 snaps and Freeman 115.
Conley entered the NFL as a third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2015. A spectacular athlete out of Georgia, he had his best year in 2019 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he tallied a career-high 775 receiving yards. He has appeared in 100 games and turns 30 later this year.

Freeman was drafted 71st overall by the Denver Broncos in the 2018 NFL Draft and never quite broke out for the team. He set a career-high during his rookie season with 521 rushing yards, but he has failed to so much as log a start in any season since. He was waived twice in 2021 before eventually finding his way to the Houston Texans late last season.
