Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Texans in March of 2024.
Practice window opens
Autry (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman missed the Texans' first four games this season due to a lingering knee injury from 2024, but it now appears he'll return to the field soon. Autry appeared in 10 regular-season games for Houston last season, recording 13 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defended. He now has 21 days to be added to the active roster before reverting to IR and will likely serve as a rotational defensive end once healthy.

2014
The Texans lost 11 sacks when they traded Maliek Collins to San Francisco and let Sheldon Rankins depart for Cincinnati. To help make up for the loss of QB pressure, Houston signed Autry, a productive defensive end coming off a career-high 11.5 sacks for the Titans in 2023. The 34-year-old may not play exclusively at end, as Houston can roll with Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter on the edge. Autry may have to apply pressure on quarterbacks from the interior - where the Collins/Rankins duo played - but defensive tackle isn't typically a spot for 6-5 defensive linemen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking to return to Tennessee
Autry is a free agent this offseason after recording a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2023, but he's hoping to re-sign with the Titans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old defensive end has three other seasons on his resume with at least eight sacks. Autry could get a big contract despite his age given the league-wide need for pass-rush help, but he'd prefer to remain in Tennessee. "It's a good fit for me," he said in December. "I like it here." Autry previously signed a three-year, $21.5 million deal with the Titans in March of 2021.
