  • Texans' Wade Woodaz: Diagnosed with broken thumb

    Woodaz broke his thumb in Thursday night's preseason win over the Raiders, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Woodaz remains day-to-day with the issue. The linebacker will likely look to get back onto the field with a cast as soon as possible. Woodaz had the biggest splash play of Thursday's win, picking off Fernando Mendoza for an 80-yard score. The fourth-round rookie has strong momentum headed into the regular season, where he is expected to be the primary depth option at middle linebacker behind Azeez Al-Shaair.

  • Texans' Wade Woodaz: Day-to-day with thumb injury

    Woodaz (thumb) is considered day-to-day, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Woodaz was the hero of Thursday night's 22-20 preseason victory over the Raiders. The fourth-round rookie snagged an 80-yard pick-six against 2026 first overall pick Fernando Mendoza. Woodaz hurt his thumb at some point during the game, but he should return to form shortly as he attempts to win a backup middle-linebacker role in a stacked Texans defense.

  • Texans' Wade Woodaz: Lands in Houston

    The Texans selected Woodaz in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 123rd overall.

    Woodaz was a versatile player at Clemson, serving as an inside and outside linebacker while also chipping in at the nickel corner position. He has sideline-to-sideline speed with a 4.56 40-yard dash at his pro day, and he was trustworthy in coverage as a senior. Still, Woodaz needs to develop more patience and a better ability to diagnose plays before he's ready to be a full-time starter. The 22-year-old should be an impressive special-teams asset until that time comes.
