Texans Trade Spot Starter to 49ers, Add Cowboys Backup in Separate Deal

The Houston Texans have made two trades to bolster their offensive line, acquiring Cowboys offensive tackle Nathan Thomas and sending interior lineman Jarrett Patterson to the San Francisco 49ers. Sources report that Thomas, a 6-foot-5, 330-pound former seventh-round draft pick, will stay in-state. The Texans received a 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for Thomas, who has played in 17 career games with four starts.

Later, the Texans traded Patterson to the 49ers, who have been in the market for an interior offensive lineman. Patterson, a former sixth-round pick, started 21 of the 39 games with the Texans but has never advanced beyond a fill-in starter. The Texans have made changes to their offensive line this offseason, with Keylan Rutledge locked in at either guard or center, joining Aireontae Ersery at left tackle and Ed Ingram at right guard.
