Overview

  • Los Angeles will send Houston a conditional seventh-round pick in 2027 for Deculus, the teams’ latest roster move reported Tuesday.
  • Deculus has appeared in 15 NFL games, including the postseason, with two starts, according to the Associated Press.
  • He saw his most action in 2023 with seven games and one start.
  • A 2022 sixth-round pick out of LSU, Deculus was a four-year starter at right tackle with 46 starts across a program-record 61 games.
  • The trade aligns with Houston’s broader offensive-line overhaul, which has included moving Laremy Tunsil and Kenyon Green and adding Ed Ingram.
