Texans' Denico Autry: Minimal production in 2025
Autry logged eight tackles (five solo), including 3.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 12 regular-season games with the Texans in 2025.
Autry opened the season on the PUP list due to a knee injury that he played through for much of the 2024 campaign. He made his 2025 debut in Week 7, but he was consistently listed on the injury report due to that same knee issue, which impacted his production and snap count on defense. Autry has accumulated 6.5 sacks across 22 regular-season games over the last two years, which is a far cry from the six prior seasons, when he recorded at least 7.5 sacks in five of those campaigns. Autry will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and while he'll garner interest from teams as a veteran depth option on the defensive line, it seems as though his best days are well behind him.

Texans' Denico Autry: Full participant in practice
Autry (knee) was a full participant in Houston's practice Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Autry was absent from practice earlier in the week but won't carry an injury designation into Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Steelers. The 35-year-old compiled eight tackles (five solo), including 3.5 sacks, across 12 games during the regular season.

Texans' Denico Autry: Upgrades to limited Friday
Autry (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Autry upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing Thursday's session due to a persisting knee injury he sustained before the season. Since being activated from the reserve/PUP list, Autry has not missed a game due to the issue and will likely be able to upgrade his practice participation and dodge an injury designation before Monday night's wild-card clash with the Steelers. Autry has one more practice to make this leap, and if he fails to do so, the defensive end's status for Monday's game will be in jeopardy.

Texans' Denico Autry: Absent from practice Thursday
Autry (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Autry's practice participation was impacted by a knee injury throughout the regular season, but he played in every game after making his season debut in Week 6. Based on that context, he will likely be available for Monday's wild-card round road game against the Steelers, though a return to practice Friday or Saturday would help assuage any concerns about the rotational pass rusher's availability.

Texans' Denico Autry: Good to go Week 18
Autry (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Texans' Denico Autry: DNP due to knee issue Wednesday
Autry (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Autry missed Houston's first five games this season due to a knee injury and continued to be listed on the injury report with the issue through mid-December, but it's not clear if his current issue is related. Regardless, a DNP to begin Week 18 prep isn't a good sign, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice before the Texans hand out injury designations for Sunday's matchup versus Indianapolis. If Autry can't play in that game, Derek Barnett could be in line for more defensive snaps.

Texans' Denico Autry: Limited in practice Thursday
Autry (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Autry was unable to practice Wednesday with a knee injury, but an upgrade in participation Thursday means the defensive end is likely trending towards playing in Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. The pass rusher followed a similar practice regimen during Week 13 prep and was still able to suit up against the Colts, so a limited or full session Friday likely means Autry will be good to go for Sunday's game.

Autry was unable to practice to begin the week due to knee injury, but he's progressively increased his involvement. After logging a full session Friday, he'll be ready to suit up for Sunday's matchup against Arizona.

Texans' Denico Autry: Dealing with knee injury
Autry (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Autry has been tending to a lingering knee issue throughout the season, and it looks like he may have suffered a re-aggravation of that injury. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals.
