Mario Edwards Returns to Texans | Houston Texans News

Houston is bringing back Mario Edwards to bolster their defensive line depth, despite releasing him earlier this offseason with a failed physical designation. After tearing his pectoral last year and seeing reduced snaps in 2025, Edwards will now compete for a roster spot during training camp, aiming to prove he’s back to his 2024 form — when he was a key starter with over 30 tackles and 3 sacks. With veterans like Sheldon Rankins and Tommy Togiai already dominating the front, Edwards’ role will likely be rotational, relying on familiarity and leadership rather than starting duties. His return signals trust from the coaching staff — but he’ll need to perform to earn his spot on the final 53-man roster.
