Overview
- The Texans signed Mark Gronowski to their practice squad, a move first reported by Aaron Wilson on Sept. 7 and published by multiple outlets on Sept. 8.
- Gronowski was released from the Miami Dolphins practice squad on Sept. 1 after being cut at the final roster deadline earlier in the week.
- He enters Houston with a decorated college resume that includes the East-West Shrine Bowl offensive MVP, a Walter Payton Award, and more than 12,000 career passing yards and 103 touchdowns.
- Scouts describe Gronowski as a 6-foot-2, 226-pound athletic, dual-threat passer who shows pocket toughness but has flagged for inconsistent ball placement and timing against faster defenders; he completed 6 of 13 passes for 98 yards in the 2026 preseason.
- Gronowski’s brief work with offensive coach Bobby Slowik in Miami and a public tweet of support from his father frame this as a developmental chance that could preserve Texans depth if C.J. Stroud or Davis Mills need emergency support.
