Ballentine (knee) reached an injury settlement with the Texans on Friday and is now a free agent.
EDGE Analysis
Ballentine essentially missed the entirety of training camp with the injury, and has battled injuries throughout the last few seasons. The specifics of the injury are still murky, so it's unknown if the 24-year-old is likely to earn a chance elsewhere.

Ballentine has not been practicing at training camp due to knee discomfort, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ballentine suffered a knee injury back in 2014 and has battled injuries in subsequent seasons, limiting him to just four games played combined in 2015 and 2016. The injury this year is preventing him from competing for an open safety spot.

Ballentine (groin) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Bellentine did not practice Friday, as a groin issue continues to hamper him even after the Texans' bye week. While his absence bears next to no impact for IDP owners to consider, it leaves Houston's secondary with one less body.

Ballentine (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, but remains on the PUP list, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Ballentine (knee) was placed on the Texans' reserve/PUP list on Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ballentine remains in recovery from a devastating knee injury suffered last season, and while a setback hasn't been reported, he hasn't progressed as quickly as expected. He now has to sit for the first six weeks of 2016, though, which should allow him ample time to get back into game shape.
