HOUSTON - Free agent safety Antonio Allen has agreed to a contract with the Texans.

Allen, who started A combined 17 games for the Jets during the 2013 and 2014 seasons, spent last year on injured reserve after suffering a torn Achilles tendon.

The Jets took him in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Allen has one career interception, which he returned for a touchdown in 2013.
