Houston released Mason on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason has played in 32 regular-season games for the Texans over the last two seasons, but the team has now opted to part ways with the veteran. He'll turn 32 in August, but he may profile as an appealing option for teams in need of some veteran reinforcements for their offensive line.

Mason (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported Tuesday that Mason was a longshot to play in Saturday's game due to an MCL injury. However, Mason was able to log a full practice Thursday, and it appears he's progressed enough in his recovery to play. He's slated to reclaim his starting spot at right guard while Juice Scruggs (ankle) and Kendrick Green provide depth at the position in case Mason aggravates his injury.

Mason (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Mason has been sidelined for the Texans' last three games due to a MCL injury sustained in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs, and Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported Tuesday that he won't play in Saturday's divisional-round rematch in Kansas City. However, Mason upgraded from a DNP on Tuesday to a limited session Wednesday, increasing his odds of suiting up Saturday. If Mason misses his fourth consecutive game in the divisional round, Juice Scruggs (ankle) or Kendrick Green will likely get the start at right guard.

Mason (knee) will not play in Saturday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old offensive lineman sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs and has yet to practice since, so his absence Sunday comes as no surprise. Kendrick Green is likely to step in and serve as the Texans' top right guard while Mason is sidelined Sunday.

The Texans ruled out Mason (knee) for Wednesday's game against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Mason was diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain coming out of this past Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs. The injury carries a recovery timeline of 3-to-4 weeks, so Mason can probably be safely ruled out for the Texans' Week 18 game against the Titans, in addition to the Christmas Day matchup with the Ravens. Kendrick Green will step in as Mason's replacement at right guard.

Mason (knee) is considered week-to-week and questionable for Wednesday's game against the Ravens, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason suffered a knee injury in the first half of Saturday's loss to the Chiefs and was unable to return to the outing. The starting right guard's current state leaves him questionable as the team takes on Baltimore at home on Wednesday. More information about Mason's status for the matchup should be released in the coming days, but it wouldn't be surprising if he was held out due to the quick turnaround.

Mason (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Mason is finalizing a three-year $36 million contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mason was traded to Houston from Tampa Bay back in March and is now expected to sign an extension that will tie him there for the next three years. The 29-year-old started all 17 games last season and will likely have the same role with the Texans during the 2023 campaign.
