Fatukasi recorded two tackles in a 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4. Fatukasi's biggest stop came on the first play of the fourth quarter with Jacksonville knocking on the door to make it a two-score cushion. Trevor Lawrence's quarterback draw on fourth-and-goal was stuffed by Fatukasi, putting the Texans in position to win the game with a touchdown drive late in the game. The defensive tackle has 11 tackles and one sack through four contests.

The Texans agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Fatukasi on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Fatukasi will stay in the AFC South after being released by the Jaguars this past Monday. The 6-foot-4 defensive tackle joined Jacksonville on a three-year, $30 million deal in March 2022, and he compiled 48 tackles, 1.5 sacks and four passes defended while appearing in 30 games over the last two regular seasons. Veteran defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins currently is set to hit free agency when the new league year starts Wednesday, and his potential departure could open up a starting role for Fatukasi in Houston.
