The Houston Texans signed former Alabama wide receiver DeAndrew White on Monday.

The NFL team has not announced the transaction yet, but the Houston Chronicle reported the addition of White and safety Marcus Gilchrist to the Texans' roster on Monday night.

White was a free agent after being released by the New England Patriots on June 23.

White becomes the 12th wide receiver on the Texans' roster, including four undrafted rookies.

In four seasons at Alabama, White caught 94 passes for 1,294 yards and 12 touchdowns.

White entered the NFL as an undrafted player in 2015, earning a spot on the San Francisco 49ers. He caught two passes for 18 yards and returned six kickoffs and one punt in four games with the 49ers.

San Francisco released White at the end of the preseason last year, and New England picked him up.

White spent last season as a member of the Patriots' practice squad, making him a part of New England's Super Bowl LI-winning team. The Patriots re-signed White on May 22, so he participated in New England's OTAs and minicamp before being released.

The Texans kick off their four-game preseason schedule on Aug. 9 against the Carolina Panthers.
