The Texans desperately need reinforcements for their injury-riddled secondary.

Playing without starting cornerbacks Aaron Colvin (ankle, out six weeks) and Kevin Johnson (concussion, injured reserve), the Texans need help.

It's good timing that former Los Angeles Rams cornerback Kayvon Webster is ready to go after participating fully in his first practices this week. Signed to a one-year, $2.25 million contract, Webster is set to make his debut with the Texans on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys.

Webster has been strengthening his Achilles that he tore last season.

"Yeah, it's great," Webster said. "Eight months since being on the field, it feels great to be back. I'm taking it one day at a time. I feel good. I've been building that strength in my Achilles."

Webster started 11 games last season before getting hurt. He recorded 38 tackles and one interception last season. The 5-11, 191-pound former South Florida standout intercepted one pass with 14 passes defended and one forced fumble in four seasons with the Denver Broncos.

The Texans need someone to step up at corner.

"Fortunately, it's the next man up," Webster said. "It's a tough business. I'm looking forward to it."
