Heath was signed by the Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heath had signed with Houston earlier in the month, then was released Thursday before re-signing after clearing waivers Friday. He is a one-time starter for Houston and knows the system, so he should fit in quickly.

Heath was waived by the Texans on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Heath had to be let go as a result of the Texans signing Jonathan Owens off the practice squad. The 26-year-old's stay in Houston was a short one as he was only signed prior to Week 11. He has yet to appear in an NFL game this season.

Heath (coach's decision) carries an inactive designation into Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Heath only signed with the Texans earlier this week, meaning he may still be unfamiliar with some of the team's defensive schemes. Angelo Blackson and Brandon Dunn figure to get starts at defensive end with J.J. Watt (pectoral) out for the remainder of the season.

Heath signed a contract with the Texans on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Heath was waived ahead of Week 1 but he's now being brought back at the expense of OL Dan Skipper. He'll look to provide depth on a team scrambling to replace J.J. Watt (pectoral).

The Texans released Heath on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was a surprising move by the Texans, especially since they traded Jadeveon Clowney to the Seahawks. However, it signals they have faith in Angelo Blackson to fill the role opposite J.J. Watt. Heath is just 26 years old, so expect another franchise to pick him up for added depth on the defensive front.

Heath signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heath made two tackles across five games with the Texans last season, and also played a limited role on special teams. The 25-year-old will supply Houston's defensive line with depth in 2019.

Health (undisclosed) made two tackles and one pass breakup during Saturday's 21-20 preseason loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Heath is competing against Christian Covington for the No. 1 DE job. If Heath falls short, he will be used in a rotational setting similar to last season, when he made 24 tackles and one sack.

Heath (undisclosed) didn't participate in OTAs on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not sure what's bothering Heath, as he was healthy for the final seven games of 2017. Heath has worked as a depth lineman for the last two years, but he is slated to start opposite J.J. Watt on the Texans' defensive front in 2018.

Heath (knee, illness) will not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Heath has been battling the knee injury for a few weeks, but it appears the undisclosed illness is what kept him sidelined at Friday's practice. Regardless, the 24-year-old appears ready to go for a depleted Texans' front seven that needs as much help as it can get.
