Bryant signed a contract with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Bryant will suit up for a new franchise in 2024 after spending the first four years of his career in New England. The Washington product appeared in all 17 games last season, recording 77 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing two fumbles and grabbing an interception. The 26-year-old should have the opportunity to bolster the depth in Houston's secondary in the upcoming campaign.
Patriots' Myles Bryant: Career-high numbers in 2023
Rotowire
Bryant racked up 77 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sack, seven pass breakups (one interception) and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023.
Bryant also accrued 11 yards on kick returns and 105 yards as a punt returner. The versatile contributor mostly handled slot snaps at cornerback for New England, but his dual-threat ability to handle punt return duties as well inarguably increased his value for the Patriots. Bryant is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Patriots' Myles Bryant: Over illness
Rotowire
Bryant (illness) is active Sunday against the Jets.
Bryant was able to log limited practices Thursday and Friday despite dealing with an illness, so it's probably no surprise the Washington product will be on the field Sunday. He should get the start at corner, opposite Shaun Wade.
Bryant (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Bryant could be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he began the Patriots' week of practice with a DNP but followed that up with limited work both Thursday and Friday. If the Washington product is unable to suit up in Week 18, Alex Austin could shoulder an increased workload in New England's secondary, and Demario Douglas would likely assume the team's top punt-returner duties.
Bryant (illness) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Thursday.
Bryant missed the team's first practice of the week Wednesday with an illness, but his return Thursday seems to suggest that he'll be ready to go for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Jets. The dual-threat cornerback has recorded 15 tackles and a pass deflection while compiling 49 punt-return yards over the last three contests.
Patriots' Myles Bryant: Gets first interception of season
Rotowire
Bryant recorded two tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 10-6 loss against the Colts.
Bryant failed to tally five total tackles for the fourth time in 10 games this season, but he salvaged his day by running under a tipped Gardner Minshew pass early in the third quarter to secure his first pick of the campaign. Opposing quarterbacks have mostly had their way with Bryant in 2023 though, and his tackle production isn't consistent enough to warrant IDP consideration in all but the deepest of formats.

Patriots' Myles Bryant: Set to face Colts
Rotowire
Bryant (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
After being limited in practice this week, Bryant approached the contest listed as questionable. With his availability confirmed, the cornerback is in line to remain a key cog in the Patriots' secondary in Week 10. Through nine games, Bryant -- who notched seven tackles in a Week 9 loss to the Commanders -- has recorded 48 tackles, two forced fumbles and a sack, numbers that keep him on the radar in deeper IDP formats.
Bryant (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
After being limited at practice all week, Bryant is now in danger of sitting out his first game of the season Sunday. If he's sidelined, New England could find themselves precariously thin at corner, which might tempt Indianapolis to throw the ball more than they would otherwise.
