He last played in 2019 with the Raiders and Texans, finishing the season with 50 tackles (36 solo), 13 passes defended and one interception across 14 regular-season games.

Going back under knife Conley (ankle) will need to get a second surgery on his ankle and will miss the rest of the season as a result, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Conley will end up spending the entire 2020 season on IR after originally getting arthroscopic surgery in January. His fifth-year option wasn't picked up prior to this season, so Conley will be a free agent heading into the 2021 campaign.

Still not nearing return Coach Romeo Crennel said Monday that Conley is still "not working" and that he doesn't "know where [a possible return] stands," Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact Conley has spent the entire 2020 season on IR while recovering from January ankle surgery. The fact that a timetable for his return remains uncertain as of Week 10 is enough to shed doubt on his chances of playing at all this year. Houston's secondary could certainly use Conley's help, as the unit is allowing 256 passing yards (22nd worst in the league) and 30.2 points (29th) per game.

Uncertain timeline for return Coach Romeo Crennel said Conley (ankle) still doesn't have a clear timeline to return to the lineup, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports. "He's had second opinions," Crennel said....
Impact Conley is struggling to get healthy after undergoing August ankle surgery, and it appears it will be a few more weeks before Conley returns to practice and is designated to return from IR. He's served the minimum three-week stint on IR and is eligible to return to action at any point. The Texans could use the help, as their defense ranks 26th with 30.3 points allowed per game, although there's a decent chance Conley won't be a starter upon return.

Not ready to return yet Coach Bill O'Brien said Wednesday that he doesn't anticipate Conley (ankle) coming off injured reserve this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Conley is technically eligible to return to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, but it appears as though he's still working his way back from January ankle surgery. The fourth-year pro is expected to handle a depth or rotational role at cornerback when available.

Will miss at least three weeks The Texans placed Conley (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
Impact Conley started training camp on the PUP list since he had ankle surgery in January, but he didn't miss practice after being activated on Aug. 10. According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, Conley has struggled in his return from injury and was expected to lose the starting job to Lonnie Johnson anyway, so the Texans hope a few weeks of rest can help Conley fully recover. He'll be eligible to return Oct. 4 versus the Vikings.

Activated from PUP list Conley (ankle) passed his physical Monday and has been activated from the PUP list, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Conley was recovering from offseason arthroscopic surgery on his ankle before getting activated. The Texans declined his fifth-year option this offseason, so he is set to become a free agent following the season. He was acquired via trade from the Raiders prior to the deadline last year. Following his arrival, he recorded 27 tackles and 11 passes defensed.

Moved to PUP list The Texans placed Conley (ankle) on the PUP list Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Acquired from the Raiders last October, Conley dealt with injury woes the rest of the season and eventually underwent surgery in January to remove a screw from his right ankle. The Texans opted not to exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, so the upcoming campaign could be his first full one but last in Houston. Before he can commence taking on a starting role yet again, he'll have to complete his rehab from the aforementioned procedure.
