Veteran linebacker Sio Moore is being signed by the Texans as a free agent after the AFC South champions cut inside linebacker Max Bullough on Friday, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

The Texans are also signing wide receiver Dres Anderson, the son of former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Flipper Anderson.

Moore and Anderson worked out for the Texans on Friday.

Bullough was released Friday. He's suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL performance-enhancing drug policy.

Moore is a former Oakland Raiders third-round draft pick from Connecticut.

Moore, 27, has also played for the Indianapolis Colts, Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals.

At 6-1, 245 pounds, Moore has run the 40-yard dash in 4.65 seconds and posted a 38-inch vertical leap.

A former All-Big East Conference selection, Moore played in the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine all-star games.

Moore had two sacks as a rookie against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Two years later, he was traded to the Colts for a sixth-round draft pick.

While playing for the Colts in 2015, Moore was fined $17,363 by the NFL for roughing the passer, a punishment stemming from his hit on former Texans quarterback Ryan Mallett.

He played for the Cardinals last season and had 35 tackles and two forced fumbles in four games and three starts.

For his career, Moore has 218 tackles, four forced fumbles and 7 1/2 sacks.

After cutting wide receiver Keith Mumphery in the wake of him being expelled from Michigan State for a sexual misconduct violation, the Texans worked out wide receivers on Friday.

That included Anderson and former Chargers wide receiver Javontee Herndon.

Anderson played collegiately at Utah where he caught 134 passes for 2,077 yards and 17 touchdowns. Anderson went undrafted due to a knee injury. He was signed by the San Francisco 49ers and spent time on their practice squad.

He was with the Chicago Bears on their practice squad last season and offseason roster this year before being cut on May 1.
