The fallout from rookie offensive tackle Tytus Howard’s partially torn medial collateral ligament continued Wednesday.

The Texans signed veteran offensive tackle Chris Clark following a Tuesday tryout and placed former starting tackle Seantrel Henderson on the non-football injury list.

Henderson has a back injury, according to sources, and was unable to practice Wednesday, prompting the decision to sign Clark.

Clark was waived from the New Orleans Saints' injured reserve list in August with an injury settlement.

Clark played three seasons for the Texans after a trade from the Denver Broncos, starting 26 games overall.

“When Chris was here, he was a really good pro,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said.“He had good leadership, very dependable guy."

The Texans cut quarterback Alex McGough from the 53-man roster and officially signed 6-foot-10, 325-pound offensive tackle Dan Skipper off of the New England Patriots' practice squad. Skipper is a former undrafted free agent from Arkansas who has also played for the Dallas Cowboys.

“Skip, we've been watching him, evaluating him for a while,” O’Brien said. “He was on the New England practice squad, and we had a need at that position and felt like he could come in here and help us.

The Texans also signed offensive tackle Kyle Murphy to their practice squad, cutting center Marcus Henry.

Murphy played at Stanford and is a former Green Bay Packers sixth-round pick. He has also played for the Los Angeles Rams.

Murphy was drafted by the DC Defenders of the XFL on Tuesday.

"We liked some of the ways that he moved around," O'Brien said. "Smart guy, went to Stanford. I guess you're smart when you go to Stanford."
