Texans' Jonathan Greenard headed to IR: Report Houston Texans defensive end Jonathan Greenard is going on the injured reserve list and is expected to be back in four to six weeks, accordi...
Sitting out Week 7 Greenard (calf) will miss Week 7's game at Las Vegas, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 Sunday availability against the Raiders.

Absent from injury report Wednesday Greenard (ankle) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact Greenard played just 42 of 72 (58%) defensive snaps Sunday after getting a 67% 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.

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