Houston Texans evaluate offensive tackle Max Pircher in team workout

The Houston Texans conducted a workout for offensive tackle Max Pircher on September 2, 2026. Pircher, a 6-foot-7, 320-pound international prospect from Italy, has previously spent time on the practice squads of the Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Washington Commanders, and Minnesota Vikings. The Texans are evaluating the lineman for their 17th practice squad spot, which is reserved for participants in the NFL International Player Pathway program. This designation allows the team to roster an additional player beyond the standard 16-man limit. Pircher has not yet appeared in a regular-season NFL game since joining the league in 2021. The team recently added offensive lineman Nathan Thomas via trade with the Dallas Cowboys as they continue to reshape their front line.
