    Texans released WR Steven Sims.
    Sims was signed this offseason and given a chance to earn return duties. An undrafted free agent who broke into the league with Washington in 2019, Sims caught 14 passes for 104 yards with the Steelers in 2022. In addition to Sims, the Texans also waived/released OL Rashaad Coward, CB Jacobi Francis, OT Austin Deculus, OG Keaton Sutherland, LB Garret Wallow, and RB Larry Rountree.
  • SEA Tight End #86
    Texans declared TE Pharaoh Brown (shoulder) inactive for Week 4 against the Chargers.
    Houston will only have O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins (an elevation) active at tight end with TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) also ruled out on Friday. WR Tyler Johnson is active for the first time this season. Also inactive for the Texans are OL Austin Deculus (ankle), CB Isaac Yiadom (thigh), LB Jake Hansen, DL Michael Dwumfour, and DL Demone Harris.

  • SEA Tight End #86
    Texans TE Pharaoh Brown (shoulder) is active for Week 3 against the Bears.
    Brown going may cut into the viability of OJ Howard as a barebones TE streamer this week -- Brown bounced back from a Thursday DNP with a full practice on Friday. Both will have some freed up targets by the absence of Brevin Jordan (ankle), who was ruled out on Friday. Also inactive for the Texans are DL Kurt Hinish (foot), OL Austin Deculus (ankle), DB Isaac Yiadom (thigh), LB Jake Hansen, and WR Tyler Johnson. No practice squad elevation for Jeff Driskel means the Texans will actually use backup QB Kyle Allen for the first time all season.

  • LAR Wide Receiver #18
    Texans declared WR Tyler Johnson, QB Kyle Allen, LB Garret Wallow, LB Jake Hansen, DL Thomas Booker, OL Austin Deculus, and DL Rasheem Green inactive for Week 1 against the Colts.
    Johnson, who was claimed on waivers, seems to not be completely up to speed with the playbook just yet. Rasheem Green was the only player actually listed on the injury report, with a thigh injury that had him questionable, after the team sent Mario Addison to injured reserve. It’s a little surprising to see the supposed backup quarterback Allen inactive. Wallow, too, seemed to have his backers in the building though he missed plenty of training camp with an injury.

  • HOU Tackle #75
    Texans selected LSU OT Austin Deculus with the No. 205 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
    Deculus (6'5/321) was a four-year starter at right tackle for the storied LSU program. In fact, he appeared in the most games in school history, appearing 61 times and starting 46 games. A member of the undefeated LSU National Championship team, Deculus is known for his leadership and mentorship, and he’ll add maturity to any team he joins. Deculus obviously has experience, reliability and durability in spades, but there are some issues, most notably his athleticism, and he earned just a 62.6 PFF grade in 2021. He’s stiff, so speed rushers can blow by him, and he can’t explode into the point of attack to move people in the run game. He has good hands that will allow him to hold his own in pass protection, and he knows what he’s doing out there. If Deculus can leverage his experience (3,381 snaps) and size, he can make it in the NFL despite the lack of elite athleticism.


  • Cameron Wire
    LSU #61
    LSU redshirt sophomore T Cameron Wire has received reps at right tackle during fall camp.
    Wire (6'6/311) has been seeing more time at right tackle at fall camp in place of Austin Deculus, who is currently dealing with an unspecified injury. With the redshirt sophomore in the fold LSU takes a hit from an experience standpoint, as Wire appeared in six games last season. Deculus is LSU’s lone returning starter on the offensive line, and an extended absence would be a significant blow for the Tigers to absorb.

  • HOU Tackle #75
    LSU senior T Austin Deculus will return to campus in 2020.
    Deculus (6'7/322), LSU’s starting RT, improved in a big way in 2019, from a PFF grade of 52.2 in 2018 to 66.1. He would have been jockeying with a large group of tackles for Day 3 positioning had he declared. Another developmental leap like he had in 2019 would give his pre-draft process next spring a seat upgrade.
  • HOU Tackle #75
    LSU junior T Austin Deculus is doubtful for Saturday’s game at Ole Miss due to an undisclosed injury.
    Deculus (6'7/322), who started at right tackle and played 78 snaps in this past weekend’s win at Alabama, has been a mainstay on the offensive line for LSU this season. His anticipated absence will lead to some juggling up front, with Badara Traore starting at right tackle, Ed Ingram at left guard and Adrian Magee at left tackle. Magee started at left guard against Alabama, but with Saahdiq Charles not expected to play against Ole Miss he’ll kick out to tackle.
  • HOU Tackle #75
    LSU junior T Austin Deculus limped off the field during the first quarter of Saturday’s game at Mississippi State with an apparent right ankle injury.
    Deculus (6'7/322) appeared to get his leg caught under his body while attempting to block for QB Joe Burrow. After being helped to the sideline, team trainers heavily taped up the junior right tackle’s right ankle. With Deculus out, LSU has moved Adrian Magee to right tackle for the time being. Ed Ingram is filling in for Magee at left guard.
  • HOU Tackle #75
    LSU four-star 2017 T Austin Deculus said that he will use the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge as an opportunity to improve against speed rushers.
    “I want to go up against guys that are more speed guys, I feel like I am a person that if you straight-up bullrush me I have a better chance of working against that,” Deculus said, “so someone that has some more speed and does some more quick stuff off the ball would be good to work against.” While the 6-foot-6, 310-pounder committed to LSU in May, several teams continue to cross their fingers for an eventual flip, with Florida State, Oregon and Tennessee all keeping watch for any signs of uncertainty. “They would have to work fast,” Deculus said, “since I am graduating early.”
