    Greenard is slated to ink a four-year, $72 million contract with Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Greenard put together a career year across 15 regular-season games in 2023, the final year of his deal with the Texans. With 52 tackles (36 solo), 15 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble, Greenard earned himself a notable payday, now becoming a pillar of the Vikings' defense. Minnesota will have to hope Greenard can consistently replicate the production levels of his 2023 campaign, which isn't a sure thing considering that across the first three years of his career, he racked up…read more

  • Logs 12.5 sacks this past season

    Greenard logged 52 tackles, 15 for loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble over 15 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: Greenard, who enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, picked a fine time to have a breakout season. He and Will Anderson (7.0 sacks, 67 QB pressures) were lethal bookends on the defensive line. Greenard has expressed interest in returning, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, but edge rushers are a premier commodity in the NFL, and Greenard will want to be paid accordingly.

  • Cleared Saturday

    Greenard (ankle) is officially active for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Browns.

    Analysis: After consecutive days as a non-participant at practice, Greenard closed out the week in limited fashion. That was enough to spring him ahead for Saturday's contest, as he will play through any remaining nagging issues. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role on the defensive line.

  • Gets tagged as questionable

    Greenard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Browns.

    Analysis: Greenard managed to practice in a limited capacity Thursday after missing practice Tuesday and Wednesday, giving himself a chance to potentially suit up for the wild-card round. If he misses his third straight game Saturday, 2022 third-rounder Myjai Sanders could benefit in terms of playing time.

  • Still sidelined Tuesday

    Greenard (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: Greenard missed the final two games of the regular season after injuring his ankle after three snaps in Week 16. Greenard paced the Texans with 12.5 sacks this year. His return would be huge for the Houston defense.

  • Will miss Week 18

    Grennard (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Greenard hasn't played since suffering the injury Week 16 against the Browns. His absence in essentially a win-or-go-home meeting with Indianapolis will certainly be a blow to the Texans' defense, and especially their pass rush. With Will Anderson (ankle) still questionable, Houston may be relying on its depth on the edges to get the job done against the Colts.

  • Estimated as DNP on Tuesday

    Greenard (ankle) was listed as a nonparticipant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Greenard played just three defensive snaps in Week 16 before missing Week 17 with the ankle injury. With Greenard having 12.5 sacks on the season, his loss has been big for Houston. The Texans need to win their Saturday game against the Colts in order to lock in a playoff spot

  • Out for Week 17

    Greenard (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: This will be Greenard's first absence of the season. The fourth-year breakout edge rusher has accrued a career-high 12.5 sacks through 15 games to lead the team, as no other teammate has more than 5.0 sacks. It's another significant injury for this Houston squad.

  • Can't practice Wednesday

    Greenard (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Greenard was forced out of Sunday's loss versus the Browns early due to an ankle injury which he's still tending to as of Houston's first practice of the new week. He'll likely need to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have a shot to play in Week 17.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Greenard (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Greenard was seen walking along the sidelines without a helmet after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half.

    Greenard (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports that Greenard was seen walking along the sidelines without a helmet on. With Will Anderson ruled out ahead of Sunday's game with an ankle injury, Jerry Hughes and Derek Barnett will see more work at defensive end.

  • Racks up sacks

    Greenard recorded six tackles (two solo), including 2.5 sacks, an additional tackle for loss and three total quarterback hits in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over Tennessee in Week 15.

    Analysis: Greenard led a Houston defense that was missing two key pieces in Will Anderson (ankle) and Blake Cashman (hamstring). The multi-sack game was the second straight for Greenard, who has 5.5 sacks over the last three weeks. His 12.5 sacks for the season are a career-high figure and the sixth-highest total in franchise history.

    Greenard recorded six tackles (five solo), including two sacks, and a pass deflection during Houston's 30-6 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: Greenard had one of his best performances of the season despite the loss, as he racked up multiple sacks for the third time. Through 13 games, the 2020 third-round pick has now compiled 46 tackles (34 solo), with 10 sacks, both of which are career highs for Greenard.

    Greenard compiled three tackles (all solo), including a sack, during the Texans' 30-27 win versus the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Greenard recorded one of four sacks for the Bengals on Sunday and was the only player other than Sheldon Rankins to bring down Joe Burrow. The 26-year-old now has seven sacks this season, just one short of the career high he set back in 2021.

  • Will play at Cincinnati

    Greenard (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Bengals.

    Analysis: Greenard upgraded to full participation at practice Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, putting him on pace to suit up in Week 10. He's on track for his first double-digit sack season, and he projects as a good IDP option against the pass-heavy Bengals.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Greenard (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: A third-round pick in the 2020 Draft, Greenard has been a breakout player under first-year coach DeMeco Ryans. Greenard's playing time (67 percent of defensive snaps) is the highest of his career, and he's already racked up six sacks, 30 tackles (21 solo), 13 QB hits, eight TFLs and one batted pass. Greenard's six sacks are 3.5 more than his next closest teammate.

    Greenard logged six tackles (three solo), including 2.5 sacks, during Houston's 15-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Greenard had his most productive outing of the season, setting new bests for both tackles and sacks. The 26-year-old is on pace for a career year and is already just two sacks short of the career-high eight he recorded in 2021.

    Greenard recorded five tackles (four solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Greenard recorded two of the Texans' three sacks on the day. He played just 29 snaps on defense -- his lowest so far this season -- but made the most of his time out on the field. Greenard leads the team with three sacks and ranks fourth with 16 total tackles.

    Analysis: Greenard, who recorded his first two-sack game since Oct. 2021, upped his total to three quarterback takedowns through four weeks. He was in the midst of an eight-sack season that year. The edge rusher dealt with injuries since then and recorded 1.5 over eight games last season.

  • Active in opener

    Greenard recorded five tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 25-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.

    Analysis: The Texans' defense performed respectably in the season opener, getting to Lamar Jackson four times while limiting the Ravens to 265 yards. Greenard is coming off an injury-marred season but recorded eight sacks over 12 games in 2021. The addition of rookie Will Anderson, who made an impact with a sack and six tackles, on the opposite end could free up Greenard for a return to his 2021 form.

  • Activated from injured reserve

    The Texans activated Greenard (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenard has been on injured reserve since suffering a calf injury during Week 4, but he'll presumably be active for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs. Before his absence, the third-year defensive end totaled nine tackles and 1.5 sacks while playing a sizable role along Houston's defensive line.

  • Returning to practice

    The Texans designated Greenard (calf) to return from IR on Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Greenard hasn't played since Week 4 due to a calf injury. He now begins a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice without counting against the active roster. Houston can activate Greenard at any point in that span, meaning he could be available as early as Sunday versus the Cowboys.

  • Placed on IR

    Houston placed Greenard (calf) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After dealing with an ankle injury prior to the Texans' bye week, Greenard hurt his calf during practice this week. As a result, he's been placed on IR and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. He recorded eight sacks in 12 games last year and has notched 1.5 through four contests this season.

    Greenard (calf) will miss Week 7's game at Las Vegas, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: This will be the second straight game Greenard's missed, and there was a bye week in between. The Texans typically rotate four players at defensive end, and he's been replaced in that rotation. Greenard has 1.5 sacks through four games.

  • Limited with calf injury Thursday

    Greenard (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Greenard was sidelined during the team's Week 5 contest versus Jacksonville with an ankle injury, but he now popped up on Thursday's practice report with an apparent calf issue. Although the 25-year-old was able to log a limited session Thursday, his activity level during Friday's practice will be something worth monitoring when considering his potential Week 7 availability against the Raiders.

  • Absent from injury report Wednesday

    Greenard (ankle) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Greenard did not practice Week 5 and was unavailable for the Texans' win over the Jaguars due to an ankle injury, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. Nevertheless, the defensive end is healthy again coming off the team's bye week. Greenard has recorded nine tackles and 1.5 sacks so far this season, and he should reprise his starting role for Sunday's contest against Las Vegas.

  • Won't play at Jaguars

    Greenard (ankle) won't travel with the team to Jacksonville ahead of Sunday's game.

    Analysis: It was previously reported by Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com that Greenard was trending toward playing Week 5, but he'll now be missing Houston's last game before its Week 6 bye. He should be back to full strength after the bye week, but in the meantime Jerry Hughes and Rasheem Green should be in line for increased reps.

  • Trending toward playing Week 5

    Greenard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, but he's trending toward playing, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenard played in a season-low 54 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps in Week 4 versus the Chargers, presumably in part because he was limited with an ankle injury. Assuming he plays in Week 5, he'll rotate with veteran Jerry Hughes and Rasheem Green for reps at defensive end.

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Greenard was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's walkthrough due to an ankle issue, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Greenard played a season-low 54 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 4 and is now dealing with an ankle injury that he presumably picked up during the team's loss to the Chargers. The 2020 third-round pick will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 5.

  • Logs Week 2 sack

    Greenard had a sack and two quarterback hits in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 2.

    Analysis: Greenard played just 42 of 72 (58 percent) defensive snaps Sunday after getting a 67 percent share in Week 1. There was no reason given for the slight drop in snaps, but it could have been due to Houston's defense melting down in the fourth quarter and overtime against the Colts the previous week. Texans head coach Lovie Smith wanted to keep that unit fresh for the whole game. Greenard led the Texans with eight sacks in 12 games last season.

  • Resumes practicing

    Greenard (foot) is participating in Saturday's practice, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenard was expected to retake the field during the early stages of training camp, and it looks like his recovery from offseason foot surgery is exactly on track. The 25-year-old led Houston with eight sacks last season (12 appearances), and the team is reportedly hopeful he can make further strides during the 2022 campaign.

  • On track for camp return

    Greenard (foot) is making good progress ahead of training camp in late July, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenard suffered a foot injury late last season and had offseason surgery, but head coach Lovie Smith said he believes that the defensive end is on track to be ready for camp. The 25-year-old led the Texans in sacks in 2021, recording eight while notching 33 total tackles over 12 games.

  • Leads team in sacks

    Greenard (foot) finished the season with a team-high eight sacks along with three tackles over 12 games in 2021.

    Analysis: Greenard missed a good chunk of time due to multiple injuries -- he sat out five games and missed parts of two others -- but there's no doubting his impact when healthy. He thrived in a move from linebacker to defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. The 2020 third-round pick could use some help on the other side, which the Texans will address during the offseason. He's locked up for another two seasons and will return as the top pass rusher on the defensive line.

    Greenard is questionable to return to Sunday's game after suffering a foot injury against the Titans, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Greenard got injured during the first quarter of Sunday's game and was seen limping off the field. He's played a key role along the Texans' defensive line this season. If Greenard is unable to return, Jordan Jenkins will step into an expanded role.

    Greenard (shoulder) is questionable to return Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Greenard came into Sunday having dealt with COVID protocols and a foot injury over the past week, but he now leaves early with a bad shoulder. While Greenard is on the sidelines, Jordan Jenkins will likely see extra work on the edge for the Texans.

    Analysis: Greenard was drafted as a linebacker out of Florida by the team last season, and he saw action in 13 games, recording 19 tackles (11 solo) and a sack over that span.

    Analysis: Greenard, a 2020 third-round pick out of Florida, had played just 11 snaps before Week 9. He was given a more prominent role while the Texans managed a depleted linebacking corps.

  • Moving up depth chart

    Greenard is expected to see an uptick in usage at outside linebacker for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Texans are all of the sudden feeling thin at linebacker, with Jacob Martin testing positive for the virus Thursday and both Dylan Cole and Whitney Mercilus being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after coming in close contact with Martin. With Kyle Emanuel dealing with a concussion, that leaves both Greenard and Brennan Scarlett as healthy outside linebackers. Despite suiting up in four games this season, Greenard has yet to record an IDP-relevant stat.

  • Dealing with injury

    Greenard (hamstring) missed Wednesday's scrimmage, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Greenard suffered the injury, however, it's serious enough to force him to miss valuable practice time.
