The Texans signed Parish to a contract Wednesday.
Parish has not joined an NFL roster since failing to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster as a seventh-round pick in 2023. The defensive end appears ready to give the league another shot. The 27-year-old will likely play in Friday's preseason finale against the Panthers while Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) and Dominique Robinson (calf) tend to their injuries.

Jaguars' Derek Parish: Duval bound

The Jaguars selected Parish in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 240th overall.
It's unclear if the Jaguars view Parish as an edge rusher, the position he played all throughout college at Houston, or as a fullback, where he transitioned to ahead of the East-West Shrine Bowl. Parish is a raw prospect regardless and will likely need to cut his teeth on special teams to make the roster.
