He has two career starts, one for the Texans and one for the Eagles. He has 33 career tackles and 1.5 career sacks. He was cut by Houston in 2023 and spent that season on the Eagles’ practice squad.

There is an opportunity at defensive tackle in Las Vegas and Booker has a real chance to make the 53-man roster and be part of the rotation. He hasn’t shown he can be a dynamic player, but he could be a solid backup.
