Fisher signed his four-year, $6.595 million rookie contract with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The second-round offensive tackle is projected as a backup in 2024 because Laremy Tunsil and Tytus Howard are under contract. Tunsil and Howard missed a combined 13 games in 2023, so Fisher will be a valuable addition to the team should such poor injury fate strike again.

Texans' Blake Fisher: O-Line depth for Stroud in Houston
Rotowire
The Texans selected Fisher in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 59th overall.
The Texans have an impressive tackle duo on paper in Laremy Tunsil and Tytus Howard, but that pairing missed a combined 13 games last season. Getting a quality depth piece who can develop into a starter when needed is a shrewd pick by Houston. Fisher is the lesser known of the Notre Dame tackles in this class behind Joe Alt, but he is talented. At 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds with above-average athleticism and anchor strength, Fisher can hold his own on the perimeter. Fisher started 27 games for the Irish at right tackle, and that will likely be his role in Houston down the road.
