Scharping will help provide depth with Isaac Seumalo still questionable for this week and James Daniels placed on injured reserve yesterday. The 28-year-old started for the Texans for portions of three years before spending the last two years as a backup with the Bengals.

Scharping was a second-round pick of the Texans back in 2019 and has started in 33 of the 79 games he’s appeared in, with his last start coming in 2021. He appeared in 31 games for the Bengals over the last two seasons but has seen just 43 offensive snaps over that span. He’ll look to catch on with the Eagles as added depth along the interior in training camp.

Scharping is little more than a depth signing at this point in his career. The former second-round pick appeared in just three regular season games on offense for the Bengals last season and struggled throughout the team's playoff run while replacing the injured Alex Cappa at right guard. In three playoff games, Scharping earned a PFF grade of 41.3, allowing three sacks and 14 quarterback pressures.

The Texans have closed their team facility after Scharping had a positive COVID-19 test. This comes at a good time with Houston on a bye. The Texans play the Jaguars in Week 9.
