The Houston Texans could add some serious length to their secondary in the form of veteran cornerback Tre Hawkins.
Hawkins, 26, is 6-foot-3.
“#Texans worked out former #Giants cornerback Tre Hawkins III today, per a league source,” KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson reported on X on August 23. “Has recorded 45 career tackles, one interception, three passes defensed in 21 career games and four starts. Has also played for #Commanders.”
Texans Show Interest in Tre Hawkins
Hawkins was a sixth-round pick, taken 209th overall in the 2023 draft. He began his career with the New York Giants, logging all of his four starts in 20 games with the franchise.
He appeared in one game for the Commanders during the 2025 regular season.
The Commanders waived Hawkins on August 5 with an injury designation. It is a process the Texans have undergone with several players, but means that he is free to sign with any franchise, though he would have had an extended period built into his agreement.
The Texans’ cornerback room is one of the team’s strengths, led by Pro Bowlers Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter.
However, the Texans have taken some injury hits with a couple of key reserves.
