Texans' Neville Hewitt: Plays in all 17 games in 2024
Hewitt finished the 2024 season with 59 tackles (31 solo), three pass breakups, including one interception, and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games.
Hewitt made four starts while Azeez Al-Shaair missed time due to a knee injury and three-game suspension, and the former was also a stalwart on special teams for the Texans. The veteran linebacker's 59 tackles were his most since 2021. Turning 32 years old in April, Hewitt is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He's long been a dependable reserve linebacker more than capable of filling in as a starter while chasing down kickoffs and punts.

Texans' Neville Hewitt: Steps up after Al-Shaair ejection
Hewitt finished Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars with nine tackles (five solo).
Hewitt unexpectedly stepped into a larger role for the Texans' defense Sunday after Azeez Al-Shaair was ejected in the second quarter for his illegal hit on quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Hewitt ended up playing 49 defensive snaps and his nine tackles matched a season best from Week 7 against the Packers. With Al-Shaair suspended for three games, Hewitt should have the chance to take on a larger role for the Texans' defense, starting in Week 15 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Texans' Neville Hewitt: Another impactful game
Hewitt recorded six tackles, one pass defensed and forced a fumble in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts in Week 8.
Hewitt snuffed out the Colts' final drive when he forced quarterback Anthony Richardson to fumble. It was the second consecutive week in which the backup linebacker made an impact as a fill-in for Azeez Al-Shaair. Hewitt has played 100 percent of the snaps the last two weeks, posting 15 tackles, three passes defensed, an interception and a forced fumble.

Texans' Neville Hewitt: Tackle leader, pick in loss
Hewitt recorded a team-high nine tackles and had an interception in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers in Week 7.
Hewitt filled in for the injured Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) and played 100 percent of the defensive snaps while also doing his part on special teams (six snaps). He made an impact immediately on the fourth play of the game, when he intercepted a Jordan Love pass near midfield and returned it 45 yards to set up Houston's first score. In a part-time role on defense (59 percent snap share) in Week 6, Hewitt had seven tackles after Al-Shaair was removed from the game.

Texans' Neville Hewitt: Season-high nine tackles vs. Pats
Hewitt logged nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.
Hewitt filled in for Azeez Al-Shaair at outside linebacker after the latter injured his knee late in the first half of Sunday's game. Hewitt took advantage of the opportunity, and his nine combined tackles were his most since Week 15 of the 2021 season. Hewitt could start against the Packers in Week 7 if Al-Shaair is unable to overcome his knee injury.

Texans' Neville Hewitt: Back with Houston
The Texans re-signed Hewitt to a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hewitt led the NFL in special-teams tackles last season while suiting up for 16 regular-season games. He played a career-high 358 snaps on special teams but just four defensive snaps, and as such holds little to no fantasy value in IDP formats.

Texans' Neville Hewitt: Ready for Week 3
Hewitt (illness) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.
Hewitt appears to be ready to go for Week 3 after he missed the team's 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. The middle linebacker operated only as a special-teams option in Week 1 and he'll likely return to that role again versus Jacksonville this weekend.

Texans' Neville Hewitt: Staying with Houston
Hewitt re-signed with the Texans on a one-year deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hewitt spent the last two seasons in Houston and played in 14 games last year, contributing 14 tackles (10 solo). The 30-year-old mostly made his mark on special teams though, seeing 307 snaps with the unit. He'll likely play a similar role in 2023.
