Cornerback Jacques Reeves makes a tackle on Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall in the Texans' preseason opener.
Cornerback Jacques Reeves was signed by the Texans as a free agent during the 2008 offseason. Reeves started 13 games for the NFC East Champion Dallas Cowboys last season and brings plenty of speed to the Texans' secondary.
