The Texans released Edwards (pectoral) on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Edwards was released with a failed physical designation after he sustained a torn pectoral Week 15 against Arizona. Prior to his injury, he totaled 13 tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, as a rotational defensive lineman. The move saves the Texans $4.4 million against the salary cap.
