Texans' Will Anderson: Adds to sack total in Week 9 win
Anderson registered 1.0 sacks and a pass defense during the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Anderson was quiet for most of Week 8, but he took down Mac Jones for a 10-yard sack late in the fourth quarter for his first tackle of the game. Anderson is up to 5.0 sacks through seven regular-season games, which is tied for 12th most in the NFL, and he is on track to surpass his sack total from 2024 (11.0 sacks in 14 regular-season games).

Texans' Will Anderson: Provides highlight in loss
Anderson recorded five tackles, including one for a loss, 1.0 sacks, a quarterback hit, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks in Week 7.
Anderson strip-sacked Sam Darnold in Seattle's endzone and pounced on the loose ball for Houston's first touchdown. It was one of four turnovers forced by Houston's defense. The sack ended a two-game drought for Anderson, who has 4.0 sacks through six contests.

Texans' Will Anderson: Limited production in Week 5
Anderson recorded three total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.
Anderson played a season-low 19 snaps on defense, likely based on the team's ability to blow out Baltimore, but he was still able to compile at least three takedowns for the fourth time this season. The defensive end has now registered 17 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, over five games this year.

Texans' Will Anderson: Rested Wednesday
Anderson was listed as a DNP at Wednesday's practice due to rest on Houston's injury report.
The reason of "rest" likely means there's nothing to see here, but Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle on Wednesday that Anderson's status was day to day. "They're both managing," Ryans said, referring to Anderson and cornerback Derek Stingley (oblique). "We'll be looking at those guys from day to day. We'll see how they continue to improve throughout the week." Anderson showed no sign of injury last week and played up until the final drive of Week 4's 26-0 win over Tennessee. He was instrumental in disrupting the Titans' passing game, amassing five quarterback pressures. His 22 pressures through four games are fifth most in the NFL and 11 quick pressures (under three seconds) are tied for first.

Texans' Will Anderson: Held without sack in win
Anderson recorded two tackles (zero solo) in the Texans' win over the Titans on Sunday.
Anderson started the season with 1.0 sacks in three straight games, but his streak snapped against Tennessee, as the Titans were unable to sustain any offense, which limited Anderson to a season-low 38 defensive snaps. On the year, Anderson has recorded 14 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks and five TFLs, and six QB hits on 71 percent of the defensive snaps.

Texans' Will Anderson: Collects another sack
Anderson registered four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Anderson got to Trevor Lawrence for a 13-yard sack late in the second quarter, which led to the Jaguars punting away the ball on the next play. Anderson has logged one sack in each of the first three games of the season and he'll look to make it four games in a row with a sack against the Titans in Week 4.

Texans' Will Anderson: Logs another sack in loss
Anderson recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Monday night's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
The 2023 first-round pick from Alabama was causing problems for the Buccaneers' offensive line, pressuring Baker Mayfield nine times during Monday night's affair. Anderson has had a productive start to the 2025 season, recording eight total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, through two games. He's expected to continue getting after the quarterback in Week 3, when the Texans play the Jaguars.
