Hinish (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Texans on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish re-signed with the Texans in the offseason, but he'll be forced to sit out the start of training camp as a result of an undisclosed injury. The defensive lineman can return to practice and play at any point in the preseason.

Houston signed Hinish to a one-year contract Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish would otherwise have been bound for free agency, but he was able to get a deal done to stick with the Texans for at least one more season. He projects to play a rotational role on the interior of the defensive line again in 2025.

The Texans activated Hinish (undisclosed) from the reserve/injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish was placed on IR at the end of training camp due to an unspecified injury. He was designated to return Oct. 2, and he'll now rejoin the Texans' 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. Hinish played in all 17 regular-season games for the Texans in 2023 and finished with 22 tackles (11 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defended.

The Texans opened Hinish's (undisclosed) practice window Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish landed on IR due to an undisclosed issue in late August. After sitting out the first four weeks of the campaign, the 25-year-old is now eligible to return. Houston has 21 days to add Hinish to its active roster; if he's not activated within that window, he'll be unable to return this season. Upon his potential activation, Hinish is likely to play a rotational role along the Texans' defensive line.

Hinish (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Texans on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish is dealing with an undisclosed injury and he'll begin the season on IR. He was designated to return, meaning that he could return to the field as soon as Week 5 against the Bills on Oct. 6.

Hinish (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Following Wednesday's limited session, Hinish was able to practice without limitations Thursday, implying that he'll return from his one-game absence streak this weekend against the Chiefs. The 300-pounder is expected to operate in his usual rotational role on Houston's defensive line behind starters Maliek Collins and Roy Lopez.

Hinish (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. He has played a rotational role along Houston's defensive line this season, tallying 16 total tackles and one sack across 11 games.

Hinish (illness) practiced in full Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish missed Wednesday's session due to an illness, but his return to Thursday's practice as a full participant indicates the issue isn't a concern. The 300-pounder should continue serving as a rotational piece within Houston's defensive line Sunday against Jacksonville.

Hinish (foot) was able to log a full practice Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hinish is still considered questionable for Sunday's contest with the Chargers despite his upgrade from a limited participant Thursday. If he is unable to play, Michael Dwumfour and Thomas Booker will likely continue to see depth work at defensive tackle.

Houston downgraded Hinish's (foot) status for Sunday's game at Chicago to out Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame has surprisingly played a somewhat significant role in the Texans' defense through two games this season, but he'll sit out Week 3 as he recovers from a foot injury. Fellow rookie Thomas Booker should see increased reps in Hinish's absence.
