A day after the Jacksonville Jaguars parted with E.J. Perry, the 25-year-old quarterback was scooped up off waivers by the Houston Texans.
Perry signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent after the 2022 NFL Draft and spent his entire rookie season on the team’s practice squad. Prior to his NFL career, Perry played one season at Boston College before transferring to Brown where he was a two-time All-Ivy League selection.
Perry appeared in two preseason games with the Jaguars and completed 25 of his 48 passes for 293 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
In January, the Jaguars added former Canadian Football League quarterback Nathan Rourke, and then the team re-signed C.J. Beathard in February.
In Houston, Perry joins a roster that currently has Davis Mills, Jeff Driskell, and Kyle Allen at quarterback, although Allen is due to become a free agent next week. The Texans also own the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and are widely expected to target a passer.
