The Texans waived Quitoriano (calf) with an injury designation Tuesday.
Quitoriano played in just seven regular-season games for the Texans in 2023 before finishing the year on injured reserve due to groin and oblique injuries. The 2022 fifth-round pick underwent surgeries for both injuries and entered training camp healthy, but he strained his calf in the Hall of Fame Game game against the Bears, which kept him out of the Texans' final three preseason games. Quitoriano will revert to Houston's injured reserve if he clears waivers, which will force him to sit for all of 2024 unless an injury settlement is reached.
