Texans sign Damione Lewis

The Houston Texans have signed defensive tackle Damione Lewis.

He tried out for the team last week along with defensive lineman Louis Leonard.

Lewis was cut by the New England Patriots earlier this year after being signed to a one-year, $1.15 million deal earlier this year.

He played for the Carolina Panthers for the past four years.

The 6-foot-2, 301-pounder is a former St. Louis Rams first-round draft pick.

He has started 65 regular season games and posted 360 tackles, 22 1/2 sacks, 14 pass deflections, five forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries. Lewis’ best statistical season was in 2004 with the Rams when he registered 61 total tackles and five sacks.

Lewis started every game last season, finishing with 41 tackles, a half-sack and one fumble recovery.
