Texans DL Mario Edwards (knee) left Houston’s Week 3 game against the Colts and is questionable to return.

He didn’t actually return, since the game is over. He went down with a non-contact injury at the end of a play and could not put any weight on his leg as he walked off with the help of a trainer.

Texans re-signed DT Mario Edwards.

The Texans released Edwards, 32, back in March. If he can make the final roster, it will be his third straight season in Houston. He notched two sacks and 14 quarterback pressures last year before suffering a season-ending pectoral injury in December. The Texans correspondingly waived OT Derrick Graham and RB Evan Hull.

Texans released DL Mario Edwards Jr.

It was with a failed physical designation. Edwards tore his pectoral muscle in December and isn’t fully recovered yet. It’s possible he’ll be an option elsewhere in 2026, but considering the Texans knew the medicals better than anyone, it could be a long recovery.

Texans DT Mario Edwards (pectoral) will miss the remainder of the season.

Edwards has appeared in 14 games for the Texans this season, tallying 13 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two TFLs in a supporting role. Naquan Jones, who the Texans recently claimed off waivers, took over in Edwards’ absence on Sunday and will presumably be tasked with filling his role for the remainder of the season. Edwards signed a two-year deal with the Texans this offseason and should be back in time for the 2026 season.
