Kenneth Murray worked out for the Houston Texans Tuesday, but the 27-year-old linebacker left without signing a contract. Houston is seeking help after Henry To'oTo'o sustained a shoulder injury and was placed on injured reserve, where he is expected to remain for several months. The Texans also promoted Jamal Hill from their practice squad to the active roster.
Murray was the Los Angeles Chargers' 23rd overall pick in 2020 after receiving All-American recognition at Oklahoma. He joined the Tennessee Titans in 2024 and paced that team in tackles. During the following offseason, Dallas obtained him from Tennessee for two draft picks.
Murray started each of the Cowboys' 16 games last season. He totaled 81 tackles, two pass breakups, four tackles for loss, one sack and one fumble recovery, finishing second on Dallas in tackles. He has also worked out for the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants since the offseason began.
Houston could consider him for practice-squad depth and game-day elevations, but no agreement was reported. The Texans are scheduled to face the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday at Reliant Stadium, with kickoff set for noon on CBS.
