Per Aaron Wilson with Click 2 Houston, the Houston Texans released Bachman in April. He had been with the Texans since the 2022 season. He was used as a returner in Houston:

Bachman signed a reserve future deal after being re-signed to the practice squad after being previously released from injured reserve with an injury settlement with a torn oblique

Bachman once led all NFL players with 19 catches during the preseason with the New York Giants. He has return skills and kick coverage ability and has one career punt return for 16 yards last season and four kickoff returns for 94 yards.
