Settle (foot) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier Thursday that Settle is slated to undergo season-ending foot surgery, so his placement on IR was inevitable. The veteran defensive tackle will conclude the campaign with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed over 12 games. Settle consistently logged a defensive snap share of around 50 percent prior to being sidelined, so his loss is significant for the Texans' defense.

Settle (foot) is set to undergo season-ending foot surgery, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Settle will end the 2025 season with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed through 12 games. The starting defensive tackle's absence the rest of the way will represent a significant loss to a dominant Texans defense. With Settle sidelined, Tommy Togiai is in line to see significantly more defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.

Settle finished the 2024 regular season with 31 total tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding a fumble recovery across 17 games.

EDGE Analysis

Settle signed a two-year contract with the Texans in March, which turned out to be a good deal for Houston. The defensive tackle secured a career-high 31 total takedowns while matching a career-best 5.0 sacks in 2024. Settle will enter the 2025 campaign with some momentum ahead of a contract year with Houston.

Settle (calf) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Settle tweaked his calf during Sunday's win over the Colts, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice without limitations Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, the 2018 fifth-round pick should be able to suit up against the Jets on Thursday night. Settle is on a two-game sack streak, and through the first eight games of the regular season he has accumulated 14 tackles (13 solo), including 4.0 sacks.

Settle injured his calf in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Indianapolis and is questionable to return.

EDGE Analysis

Settle had a good game going prior to getting hurt, notching a team-high three tackles, including 1.0 sacks. The defensive tackle has maintained a steady workload throughout the campaign, logging over half of the Texans' defensive snaps every week since Week 3. Kurt Hinish could be called upon to absorb Settle's snaps if the latter isn't able to return following halftime.

The Texans signed Settle to a two-year deal worth up to $7 million Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending the first six years of his career with the Commanders and Bills, the 26-year-old defensive lineman is headed to Houston. Across Settle's two seasons with the Bills, he appeared in 32 games and recorded 33 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while also defending one pass. The Virginia Tech product is expected to have the chance to compete for a solid role on the Texans' defensive line, especially with the departure of Sheldon Rankins this offseason.

Settle (calf) is active Week 3 against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Settle will not only return after a week of limited practices, but he could see a much larger role given the absence of both Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring). The fifth-year DT made just one tackle in 28 snaps in Week 1, so while he probably won't be on the average IDP radar, the Buffalo defensive front will be counting on him to keep up its early season momentum.

Settle (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Settle missed the Bills' Week 2 victory but logged three limited practices leading up to the showdown in Miami. With both Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring) ruled out, Settle could have a big role along the defensive line if he is cleared to play.

Settle (calf) has been able to practice on a limited basis the past two days.

EDGE Analysis

Settle missed the Week 2 win over Tennessee after making a one-tackle debut for the Bills in Week 1, a game where he saw 42 percent of the defensive snaps. He's a depth guy for now, but with the defense so banged up heading into an important divisional game, any healthy body that can provide capable play will go a long way.

Settle (calf) is out Monday against the Titans, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Settle logged a limited practice Saturday, but the five-year-pro still isn't ready to take the field. With Ed Oliver (ankle) also ruled out, the middle of the Bills' defensive line will be thinner than you would hope for against Derrick Henry. Settle will work to be ready for Week 3 against the Dolphins.
