Texasn re-sign Pro Bowl long snapper Jon Weeks

When it works, why change?

According to Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Texans are re-signing Pro Bowl long snapper Jon Weeks to a 13th season.

Weeks has played the most games in Texans history with 193. Houston signed the former Baylor Bear in 2010, and he has not missed a game since Sept. 12, 2010.

After his collegiate career, Weeks had a tryout with the Detroit Lions in 2008 during rookie minicamp. However, he was not signed to the team. The former Glendale (Ariz.) Mountain Ridge product remained out of football for the 2008 and 2009 seasons before getting another shot with the Texans ahead of their 2010 rookie minicamp.

In 2015, Weeks made the Pro Bowl after the Texans’ 9-7 season that resulted in the club’s third AFC South title.

Weeks turned 36 years old on Feb. 17, and has 26 combined tackles for his career with one fumble recovery.
