Settle (foot) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. It was reported earlier Thursday that Settle is slated to undergo season-ending foot surgery, so his placement on IR was inevitable. The veteran defensive tackle will conclude the campaign with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed over 12 games. Settle consistently logged a defensive snap share of around 50 percent prior to being sidelined, so his loss is significant for the Texans' defense.

Settle (foot) is set to undergo season-ending foot surgery, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Settle will end the 2025 season with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed through 12 games. The starting defensive tackle's absence the rest of the way will represent a significant loss to a dominant Texans defense. With Settle sidelined, Tommy Togiai is in line to see significantly more defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.

Settle finished the 2024 regular season with 31 total tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding a fumble recovery across 17 games. Settle signed a two-year contract with the Texans in March, which turned out to be a good deal for Houston. The defensive tackle secured a career-high 31 total takedowns while matching a career-best 5.0 sacks in 2024. Settle will enter the 2025 campaign with some momentum ahead of a contract year with Houston.

Settle (calf) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Tuesday. Settle tweaked his calf during Sunday's win over the Colts, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice without limitations Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, the 2018 fifth-round pick should be able to suit up against the Jets on Thursday night. Settle is on a two-game sack streak, and through the first eight games of the regular season he has accumulated 14 tackles (13 solo), including 4.0 sacks.

The Texans signed Settle to a two-year deal worth up to $7 million Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. After spending the first six years of his career with the Commanders and Bills, the 26-year-old defensive lineman is headed to Houston. Across Settle's two seasons with the Bills, he appeared in 32 games and recorded 33 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while also defending one pass. The Virginia Tech product is expected to have the chance to compete for a solid role on the Texans' defensive line, especially with the departure of Sheldon Rankins this offseason.
