Houston Texans Injuries

Speed suffered a partial tear to his quad while lifting weights back in May and was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday. By the sounds of it, Speed could open the regular season on reserve/PUP list, which would cost him at least the first four games of 2026. Speed inked a two-year, $10 million deal with Houston over the offseason.

It sounds like Stewart is more week-to-week than day-to-day after he was placed on the active/PUP list to begin camp Tuesday. Stewart inked a one-year, $2.7 million deal to remain with the Texans over the offseason after he recorded 25 tackles (15 solo) across nine regular-season appearances in 2025.

Hansen was carted off the field Thursday due to the issue, and it seems it will be an elongated recovery period for the 28-year-old. If the linebacker cannot sustain his standard of play once he returns, his special-teams snaps may be earned by other players such as rookies Wade Woodaz or Aiden Fisher.

Per Wilson, Hill was able to continue training and practicing while wearing a cast, but it's not fully clear whether he'll be ready to suit up come Week 1 of the regular season. Any reps he misses could mean extra attention for offseason trade acquisition Marte Mapu.

Dell practiced in pads last week for the first time since injuring his knee, and after initially being limited to individual drills he has advanced to team work. His status for Week 1 remains uncertain, but if he can avoid any setbacks there's reason to believe he'll be out there when the regular season gets underway.
