Autry (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee. Autry didn't practice at all this week due to a knee injury, but that won't keep him out of Sunday's matchup against his former squad. The defensive tackle has been playing around half of Houston's defensive snaps since making his Texans debut in Week 7 following a season-opening suspension. Autry's availability Sunday will help Houston's pass rush, as he has 3.0 sacks through five games on the campaign.

Autry (knee) did not participate at the Texans' practice Wednesday. Autry recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed in the team's win over the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. He may have picked up a knee injury in the process and his status at practice the rest of the week is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tennessee.

Autry was reinstated from the Reserve/Suspended list Monday. Autry will be eligible to play again after being suspended for the first six games of the season after violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs. The Texans were granted a one-game roster exemption for the 34-year-old, who will likely contribute as a rotational pass rusher.

Autry agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Texans on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Autry started his career with the Raiders before spending three seasons with the Colts followed by three with the Titans. He continues his journey across the AFC South in Houston, where he projects to compete for edge reps opposite Will Anderson. The 33-year-old tallied a career-high 11.5 sacks in Tennessee during the 2023 campaign.

Autry recorded 50 tackles (30 solo), 11.5 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles across 17 games with the Titans in 2023. Autry has been a key pass rusher for the Titans since joining the team in 2021. He reached new heights in 2023, however, logging career-high marks in tackles, sacks and snaps played. Autry is set to hit free agency and could be in for one final payday as he enters his age-34 season in 2024.
