• Shaq Mason: Heading for free agency

  03/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Houston released Mason on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Mason has played in 32 regular-season games for the Texans over the last two seasons, but the team has now opted to part ways with the veteran. He'll turn 32 in August, but he may profile as an appealing option for teams in need of some veteran reinforcements for their offensive line.

  Mason (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Chiefs. Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported Tuesday that Mason was a long shot to play in Saturday's game due to an MCL injury. However, Mason was able to log a full practice Thursday, and it appears he's progressed enough in his recovery to play. He's slated to reclaim his starting spot at right guard while Juice Scruggs (ankle) and Kendrick Green provide depth at the position in case Mason aggravates his injury.

• Texans' Shaq Mason: Upgrades to limited work

  01/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Mason (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Mason has been sidelined for the Texans' last three games due to a MCL injury sustained in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs, and Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported Tuesday that he won't play in Saturday's divisional-round rematch in Kansas City. However, Mason upgraded from a DNP on Tuesday to a limited session Wednesday, increasing his odds of suiting up Saturday. If Mason misses his fourth consecutive game in the divisional round, Juice Scruggs (ankle) or Kendrick Green will likely get the start at right guard.
