Dunn was released by the Texans on Thursday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn missed the final three games in 2020 due to a fractured hip, but he was medically cleared ahead of training camp this year. The 28-year-old signed a three-year, $12 million contract with Houston in February of 2020 but will now hit free agency with just under a month remaining until the regular season.

Dunn (hip) has been medically cleared from a fractured hip suffered last season, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears that Dunn is healthy heading into the 2021 campaign. The 28-year-old has played in at least 11 games during five of his last six seasons and will likely compete for snaps with Jaleel Johnson and Maliek Collins, who were both acquired this offseason via free agency.

Dunn (hip) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was just a matter of time before the Texans made this move, as Dunn was declared out for the season after suffering a pelvic fracture in the Week 14 loss to the Bears. It's unclear if he'll be ready for the 2021 season. Dunn has two years remaining on the three-year, $12 million contract he signed with the Texans in February of 2020.

Dunn will miss the last three games of the 2020 season due to a pelvic fracture, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn underwent an MRI earlier in the day after being carted off the field Sunday against Chicago, and the results confirmed a pelvic fracture. Ross Blacklock and Corey Liuget are set to see an increase in reps the rest of the way in 2020.

Dunn (hip) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Bears. He will likely bear the questionable tag heading into Week 15 against the Colts. If a replacement is needed, Ross Blacklock and Corey Liuget are in line for more playing time next week.

Dunn suffered a hip injury during Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn failed to record a tackle before he exited in the fourth quarter. If he's unable to recover before next week's game against the Colts, either Ross Blacklock or Corey Liuget will start at nose tackle.

Dunn agreed to a three-year, $12 million extension with the Texans on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dunn appeared in all 16 of the Texans' regular-season games in 2019, registering 25 tackles along with one sack.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn has been a depth soldier along the Texans' defensive line for the last five seasons, missing just one game over the last three years. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent when the offseason begins in March.

Dunn signed his one-year tender with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The deal Dunn elected to sign is worth just over $2 million. Dunn started at nose tackle for the Texans in 2018, accumulating 24 tackles (13 solo) and one forced fumble across 14 games. He appears on track for a similar role during the 2019 season.

The Texans submitted a $2.025 million tender to Dunn on Monday, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn was decent for the Texans in 2018, racking up 24 tackles (13 solo) and on forced fumble in 14 games. In theory, a team could still match the offer, but would have to give up a draft pick in return. If the 26-year-old stays, he'll likely be the favorite to re-gain his role as the starting nose tackle.
