Bachman signed a reserve/future contract with the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Bachman signed with the Texans' practice squad Nov. 15, but he never made his way to the active roster before the season came to a close. The 26-year-old previously spent time with the Giants in 2020 and 2021, appearing in a total of four contests, but he never saw a target. He'll work to earn a role in Houston next season.

Giants' Alex Bachman: Increases roster odds with big game
Rotowire
Bachman hauled in 11 of 14 targets for 122 yards and two touchdowns in a 25-22 preseason win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Bachman was pretty quiet in New York's first exhibition contest against New England, catching two passes for 17 yards. He exploded with a huge performance Sunday, however, leading the Giants in targets, catches and receiving yards while hauling in both of the team's receiving scores. All of Bachman's work came with third-string quarterback Davis Webb behind center, and the pair connected on a pair of fourth-quarter TDs, including one that gave New York the comeback win with 35 seconds remaining in the contest. Bachman has been thought to be on the bubble for the 53-man roster, so it's possible that this performance will go a long way toward making his case for a spot on the team.
