Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Beanie Bishop , who was released last week, tried out for the Houston Texans on Wednesday. It is his first try out with a team since the Steelers released him from the practice squad.

Overall, Bishop played 45 snaps across two games this preseason, but defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said before the team’s final preseason game that it would be important for Bishop as he made a push towards the roster. He did not play in any games this season.

“He’s really going against some pretty good competition at the nickel now that you throw No. 5 (Jalen Ramsey) in there and then you throw (Brandin Echols) in there,” Austin said. “He’s really got to fight and work to make some splash to put himself in the picture.”
