• Texans' Neville Hewitt: Another impactful game

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Hewitt recorded six tackles, one pass defensed and forced a fumble in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts in Week 8. Hewitt snuffed out the Colts' final drive when he forced quarterback Anthony Richardson to fumble. It was the second consecutive week in which the backup linebacker made an impact as a fill-in for Azeez Al-Shaair. Hewitt has played 100 percent of the snaps the last two weeks, posting 15 tackles, three passes defensed, an interception and a forced fumble.

  Hewitt recorded a team-high nine tackles and had an interception in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers in Week 7. Hewitt filled in for the injured Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) and played 100 percent of the defensive snaps while also doing his part on special teams (six snaps). He made an impact immediately on the fourth play of the game, when he intercepted a Jordan Love pass near midfield and returned it 45 yards to set up Houston's first score. In a part-time role on defense (59 percent snap share) in Week 6, Hewitt had seven tackles after Al-Shaair was removed from the game.

Hewitt filled in for Azeez Al-Shaair at outside linebacker after the latter injured his knee late in the first half of Sunday's game. Hewitt took advantage of the opportunity, and his nine combined tackles were his most since Week 15 of the 2021 season. Hewitt could start against the Packers in Week 7 if Al-Shaair is unable to overcome his knee injury.

  The Texans re-signed Hewitt to a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Hewitt led the NFL in special-teams tackles last season while suiting up for 16 regular-season games. He played a career-high 358 snaps on special teams but just four defensive snaps, and as such holds little to no fantasy value in IDP formats.

  Hewitt (illness) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Wednesday. Hewitt appears to be ready to go for Week 3 after he missed the team's 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. The middle linebacker operated only as a special-teams option in Week 1 and he'll likely return to that role again versus Jacksonville this weekend.
