According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal is reportedly for six years.
Ryans played linebacker for Houston from 2006-2011, and ranks second on the Texans’ all-time tackles list with 636.
The 38-year-old spent six seasons on the San Francisco 49ers staff, the last two as defensive coordinator.
He takes over a team that finished just 3-13-1 in 2022 and hasn’t made the postseason since 2019.
