Quessenberry (knee) took part in a tryout with the Commanders on Thursday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quessenberry tore his ACL and MCL last August and missed the entire 2023 campaign. He's presumably now healthy and looking to latch on with a new organization. Quessenberry started 16 of 17 games with Houston in 2022 and had re-signed with the team on a one-year deal prior to suffering the knee injury.

The Texans placed Quessenberry (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quessenberry started 16 of 17 games at center for Houston last season and re-signed with the Texans on a one-year, $2.1 million deal. He was expected to compete with 2023 second-rounder Juice Scruggs for the starting job, but now Scruggs will likely open the season as the starter while Quessenberry will undergo surgery for the torn ACL and MCL and spend 2023 rehabbing.

Further testing determined Quessenberry's (knee) injury severity Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's starting center was carted off during Wednesday's practice and unfortunately, the injury looks to be season ending. Quessenberry started 16 games for the Texans last season after four years with the Chargers. Expect the 2023 second-round pick, Juice Scruggs, to now start at center for Houston ahead of the coming season.

Quessenberry (undisclosed) needed to be carted off the field during training camp Thursday. Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quessenberry's injury details are unclear, so it's hard to know the potential severity of it. The 28-year-old came into camp competing with rookie Juice Scruggs, for the starting-center job, but he'll now need to recover first before he can return to working to earn that role.

Quessenberry re-signed with the Texans on a one-year contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quessenberry started 16 games for Houston last season and earned himself the opportunity to return. The 27-year-old took over at center after Justin Britt left the team for personal reasons. He'll work to earn another opportunity as a starter in 2023.

Quessenberry (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Quessenberry missed Sunday's win over the Giants due to the COVID-19 protocols, but his absence will be limited to one game. He should fill a reserve role on the interior offensive line for the Chargers now that he's cleared to play.

Quessenberry was put on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The center will now enter the league's COVID protocols and will be in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Giants. It is unknown if Quessenberry tested positive for the virus or if he was deemed to be in close contact with someone who has so the length of his absence could very in length.

The Rams selected Quessenberry in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 155th overall.

EDGE Analysis

Quessenberry (6-foot-4, 310 pounds) got lost in the shuffle of an unusually strong center class, but he's a formidable prospect in his own right. He's a borderline elite athlete by center standards with a 5.09-second 40 and 7.5-second three-cone drill. The UCLA offense line was a mess much of the time, but that was possibly due to coach Jim Mora inflicting the college football version of the Jeff Fisher Effect.
