The Texans released Britt on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britt left the Texans at the end of September and never rejoined the team for the remainder of the 2022 campaign. His release clears around $3 million in salary cap space.

The Texans placed Britt (personal) on their reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britt is scheduled to be away from the team indefinitely for personal reasons after he also missed Sunday's contest against the Broncos. The 31-year-old center's placement on the Texans' reserve/non-football illness list gives him time to work through his individual situation, per Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com. In the meantime, Scott Quessenberry, who started at center and played 100 percent of the team's snaps in Week 2, is expected to continue handling starting duties while Britt remains absent.

Britt's (personal) return date is unknown as of Monday according to head coach Lovie Smith, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britt missed Week 2 and his status for Week 3 will remain in question, for now. If he does not return in time, Scott Quessenberry will draw the start at center Sunday against the Bears.

Britt won't play Sunday against the Broncos for personal reasons, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britt (knee) was cleared from the Texans' injury report Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Britt spent a week on the reserve/COVID-19 list but after clearing protocols, he popped up on the injury report due to his knee. However, now cleared from any injury designations, Britt should be ready to start at center Sunday when the Texans take on the 49ers.

Britt was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday but was limited in practice due to a knee injury.

It's unclear if this knee injury is related to the one that kept Britt sidelined for the entirety of November, but the starting center has most importantly cleared COVID protocol, putting him in position to make his return Sunday in San Francisco.

Britt (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Britt will now be unavailable until he clears the health and safety protocols. He's started nine games for Houston this season and would be a significant loss for Week 16 if unavailable.

Britt (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

The Texans now have 21 days to activate Britt to the 53-man roster, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return to action this Sunday.
