The Houston Texans have lost starting cornerback DeMarcus Faggins for six to 10 weeks, likely sidelining him for at least the first month of the regular season, after the four-year veteran suffered a broken right foot.

Losing the fiesty Faggins, who started a career-high 10 games in 2005 after previously performing as a standout nickel defender for the Texans, means that Phillip Buchanon will return to the starting lineup at right cornerback.

Dunta Robinson, the Texans' top player in the secondary, is the starting left cornerback.

To compensate for the loss of Faggins, the Texans have reached a contract agreement in principle with veteran free agent Dexter McCleon, who was released by the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this spring. If he passes the team's physical exam, McCleon will sign before the end of the weekend. Details of his pending contract were not yet available.

Faggins, 27, has appeared in 39 games, starting 13. He has 98 career tackles, three interceptions and 18 passes defensed. A sixth-round pick in the 2002 draft, he has evolved from a practice squad player to a fluid cover cornerback.

Faggins was the 1st pick of the 6th Round of the 2002 draft.
