Records sack in preseason finale
Houston (knee) recorded three total tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Houston had been nursing a knee injury that he suffered in the team's preseason opener against the Giants, but he made the most of his opportunity in his return against Pittsburgh. The linebacker notched a sack on quarterback Kyle Allen in the second quarter while playing 22 defensive snaps with Detroit in the contest. Although Houston has proven himself when healthy, head coach Dan Campbell said following the game that he and general manager Brad Holmes will have a tough decision to make on whether the linebacker cracks the 53-man roster, Justin Rogers of the Detroit Football Network reports.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Houston had an up-and-down rookie campaign in 2022, when the sixth-round draft pick earned 134 defensive snaps as a pass-rushing specialist. Although most of Detroit's snaps at linebacker will go to Alex Anzalone and first-round pick Jack Campbell, Houston should still have plenty of chances to get to the quarterback as a rotational piece in 2023.
