Texans' Solomon Byrd: Reverts to IR for Houston
Byrd (ankle) reverted to the Texans' injured-reserve list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Byrd suffered an ankle injury during last Friday's preseason finale against the Panthers. The defensive end had virtually no chance of making the 53-man roster, so he was waived with an injury designation. The 26-year-old went unclaimed and now will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Solomon Byrd: Let go by Houston
The Texans waived Byrd (ankle) with an injury designation Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Byrd was already on the roster bubble before suffering an ankle injury during Friday's preseason loss to the Panthers. The 2024 seventh-round pick will now either get picked up by another team or perhaps get moved to IR with the Texans.

Texans' Solomon Byrd: Nursing ankle injury
Byrd picked up an ankle injury during the Texans' 16-13 preseason loss to the Panthers on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Byrd logged four tackles (two solo) and a pass defense before injuring his ankle on the second play of the fourth quarter. The 2024 seventh-rounder is on the bubble for a spot on the Texans' 53-man roster for the regular season, and the severity of his ankle injury could play a factor into whether he makes the cut by the end of training camp.

Texans' Solomon Byrd: Headed to Houston
The Texans selected Byrd in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 238th overall.
Byrd was a disruptive force in college, splitting his career between Wyoming and USC. In two seasons with the Trojans, he posted a combined 10.0 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss across 27 games. That production led to him getting drafted, but he lacks the twitch and speed that would likely be required to excel as a pro. Byrd should have the chance to develop further on a team's practice squad if he can't make the Texans' roster.
