Deiter is a former Dolphins third-round draft pick from Wisconsin. He was active for every game with the Dolphins last season, but played sparingly.
Zenter was previously with the Philadelphia Eagles after going undrafted.
He was a second-team All-Big 12 selection at Kansas State.
“Done a great job of learning quickly and anything we’ve assigned him to do,” Texans special teams coordinator Frank Ross said of Zentner. “Get up to speed as quick as you can, he’s done a great job of that and I’m looking forward to seeing him perform in his first NFL game on Sunday.”
