Henderson signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Henderson hasn't made the expected impact tied to his first-round draft capital, but he was a decent contributor in the Panthers' secondary for the last two seasons. He's likely to fill a similar depth role with the Texans, potentially taking the field in nickel or dime formations.
Henderson finished the regular season with 39 tackles (31 solo), including one sack, and two passes defended in 12 games.
Henderson dealt with a concussion but also missed games as a healthy scratch. The 2020 first-round pick is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent, with it unclear whether a new front office will look to retain him in Carolina.
