HOUSTON – The Texans worked out two free agent offensive lineman, according to a league source.

They auditioned offensive guards Keaton Sutherland and Parker Ferguson and had offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. visit. Wheatley is signing with the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad, per a source, and did not work out for the Texans.
