Texans' Kenyon Green Out for Season with Shoulder Injury

The former first-round pick faces an uncertain future after another injury setback and ongoing performance struggles.

Kenyon Green dislocated his shoulder in a game against the New York Jets and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.
The Texans placed Green on injured reserve, and his future with the team is uncertain as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
Green struggled throughout the season, leading the NFL in pressures allowed by a guard and being benched briefly before his injury.
Despite offseason efforts to improve, Green's performance issues persisted, and trade interest from other teams was limited.
With Green out, the Texans may start Jarrett Patterson at left guard upon his return from concussion protocol or explore trade options before the Nov. 5 deadline.
