The Houston Texans are completing an important move by signing veteran center Ethan Pocic from the Cleveland Browns.
According to Adam Schefter's confirmation, Pocic will join the Texans on a one-year contract. This addition strengthens the team's offensive line.
Pocic has played 97 games in 114 career appearances, including 57 starts with the Cleveland Browns before suffering a neck injury.
This neck injury kept Pocic out for the entire 2025 season, but he is reportedly healthy and ready to return to action.
A second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks, Pocic has had a solid career with multiple teams.
Before joining the Browns, Pocic played for the Miami Dolphins, where he became a steady starter on their offensive line.
Adding Pocic will help the Texans add depth to their offensive line and provide protection for quarterback C.J. Stroud in the 2026 season.

Experts have noted that adding Pocic to the lineup is a necessary move to protect Stroud, a promising young talent.
“Adding a center to the fold will do C.J. Stroud a lot of good,” CBS Sports' Zachary Pereles wrote, calling it the "biggest remaining need" for the Texans.
Pocic is expected to compete for the starting center spot alongside Jake Andrews and Evan Brown.
With the departure of Spencer Burford and Ben Bartch, Pocic will have a great chance to secure the starting center role.
The addition of Pocic provides the Texans with a player with extensive experience and solid protection for Stroud in the upcoming season.

Jones also shared that he will continue to learn and improve himself to contribute more to the team.
With his experience and recovery from injury, Pocic will be a key piece on the Texans' offensive line.
The 2026 season will be an opportunity for Pocic to prove his worth and help protect Stroud in critical situations.
Adding Pocic to the lineup also helps the Texans maintain a strong, stable team that is capable of competing at a high level in the NFC.
Texans fans are eagerly awaiting Pocic's arrival, hoping he will be a key factor in helping the team make a deeper playoff run.
NFL expert Tom Pelissero also confirmed that Pocic is fully recovered and ready to get back on the field.
This move not only boosts Stroud's protection but also strengthens the Texans' offensive line in preparation for the 2026 season.
With Pocic, the Texans will have a formidable team ready to face strong opponents in the NFC next season.
