Linebacker Signs with Texans after Steelers Tryout

Houston Texans have signed linebacker Chad Muma to their practice squad after he completed a tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Muma, 27, was a third-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 NFL Draft and had a solid three-year stint with the team, making seven starts and recording 1.5 sacks in his rookie year. He was waived by the Jaguars in August and subsequently signed by the Indianapolis Colts, appearing in five games before being sent to the Patriots' practice squad.

Muma played in three regular-season games and all four playoff games for the Patriots last season before being released in August. Currently, the Steelers do not have a pressing need for a linebacker, with Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson having started all four games.
