Raiders' Folorunso Fatukasi: Signs with Vegas
The Raiders signed Fatukasi to a contract Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Fatukasi worked out with the Giants in late July but waited through training camp to sign with an organization. The veteran defensive tackle now joins the Raiders, looking to provide some depth on the interior defensive line. Fatukasi slots in behind Tonka Hemingway, Benito Jones and Brandon Cleveland. However, he Jets' 2018 sixth-rounder is likely just a preseason addition to bolster the rotation for next Thursday's game against the Texans.

Folorunso Fatukasi: Gets in workout with G-Men
The Giants worked out Fatukasi (shoulder) on Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Fatukasi appeared in just four games for Houston in 2025 as he nursed a shoulder injury, but he's now healthy enough to try out for a new club. If the veteran DT signs somewhere before the start of the 2026 campaign, it will likely be to fill a depth role.

Texans' Folorunso Fatukasi: Ends 2025 season on IR
Fatukasi (IR, shoulder) tallied eight tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, across four regular-season games for the Texans in 2025.
Fatukasi served in a rotational role on the Texans' defensive line to open the regular season, and he logged at least 0.5 sacks in two of four games before landing on injured reserve in early October due to a shoulder injury. The injury was severe enough that the 31-year-old wasn't cleared to return to practice, and it remains to be seen how his shoulder issue will impact his availability for offseason activities like OTAs and minicamp. Fatukasi is an unrestricted free agent, and as long as he passes his physicals, he should garner interest from teams looking to add veteran depth to the interior defensive line.

Texans' Folorunso Fatukasi: Shifts to IR
Fatukasi (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
The 30-year-old from UConn was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a shoulder injury in the Texans' Week 4 win over the Titans, so it's no surprise he's shifted to IR. Fatukasi has played 101 defensive snaps through Houston's first four games this season, recording eight total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. While he's sidelined for at least the next four contests, Tim Settle could see increased work as a reserve interior defensive lineman.

Texans' Folorunso Fatukasi: Won't play vs. Baltimore
Fatukasi (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Fatukasi was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury he likely picked up during the Texans' Week 4 win over the Titans, and he'll be in street clothes for Sunday's road contest. Tim Settle and Tommy Togiai should see an uptick in rotational snaps at defensive tackle in Fatukasi's absence.

Texans' Folorunso Fatukasi: Misses practice Wednesday
Fatukasi (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
It's a new injury for the veteran defensive lineman, who played a season-low 22 percent of the defensive snaps last Sunday against the Titans. Sheldon Rankins, Tim Settle, Mario Edwards and Tommy Togiai paced the Texans' defensive tackles in playing time last Sunday with Fatukasi banged up.

Texans' Folorunso Fatukasi: Returns to practice
Fatukasi (undisclosed) passed his physical and was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Fatukasi made his return to practice Monday after missing the entirety of training camp to this point while nursing an undisclosed injury. The defensive lineman will likely ramp up his workload in the coming weeks, but he appears to be on track to be ready for the team's regular-season opener Sept. 7 versus the Rams.

Texans' Folorunso Fatukasi: Not ready for training camp
Fatukasi (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
It's not entirely clear what Fatukasi is dealing with, but the defensive lineman did miss the final three games of the regular season last year due to an ankle injury. The Texans overall might be taking a cautious approach with a number of their veterans, as 13 players were either placed on the non-football injury list or PUP list to begin training camp. The 30-year-old Fatukasi re-signed with Houston on a one-year deal late in the offseason and is expected to be a key rotational defensive lineman much like he was last season.

Texans' Folorunso Fatukasi: Returning to Houston
The Texans re-signed Fatukasi on Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports.
Fatukasi will return to Houston, where he racked up 24 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 11 regular-season games played during the 2024 campaign. The 2018 sixth-round pick will likely be in the mix to serve as one of the team's starting defensive tackles during the upcoming season.
