Grugier-Hill (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darin Gnatt of the Panthers' official site reports. Grugier-Hill didn't practice Friday due to an illness, but he'll still suit up Sunday. Over his last five appearances, Grugier-Hill has totaled 25 tackles, a sack and a pass defense while playing a rotational role.

The Cardinals signed Grugier-Hill on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Grugier-Hill will now join Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons in Arizona's linebacker corps following Tuesday's transaction. The 28-year-old requested a release from the Texans in late October, after he played just 18 defensive snaps during the Week 7 loss to the Raiders due to the team's recent activation of rookie third-round pick Christian Harris. Grugier-Hill paced Houston in tackles in 2021, and he's thus far racked up 40 tackles and six starts this season.

Grugier-Hill (neck) was listed as a full participation on the Texans' injury report Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. Grugier-Hill fully returned to practice after being listed as a limited participant on Houston's injury report Wednesday. The 28-year-old recorded 18 tackles during the Texans' overtime tie with the Colts in Week 1, and he should serve an important role against the Bears' run-heavy offense this coming Sunday.

Grugier-Hill had 18 tackles in Sunday's 20-20 overtime tie with the Colts in Week 1. A full overtime may have padded Grugier-Hill's stats, but he led the Texans last season with 108 tackles.

Grugier-Hill recorded seven tackles, including one for a loss, in 28-25 loss to the Titans in Week 18. Grugier-Hill finished the season with a team-high 108 tackles, which represents a career best for the linebacker, who signed a one-year deal with Houston after spending five seasons as largely a substitute in Philadelphia and Miami. He added three sacks, three passes defensed, one interception and two forced fumbles to his seasonal resume. His stock is on the rise at the right time; the 27-year-old becomes an unrestricted free agent in the upcoming offseason. He told Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle that he'd like to return while adding there's been team interest in having him back. After the team parted ways with Zach Cunningham midseason, it's likely the Texans make an effort to re-sign Grugier-Hill.
