Texans OL Kendrick Green Out Indefinitely With Torn Meniscus

It’s the latest injury for Houston’s offensive line which has been absolutely riddled this year. The Texans traded for Green after losing 2022 first-round G Kenyon Green for the season. 

Green, 24, was a three-year starter at Illinois, a second-team All-American, and a first-team All-Big Ten in 2020. The Steelers drafted Green with pick No. 87 overall in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Green signed a four-year, $4,875,766 rookie contract that included a $906,011 signing bonus. He was in the third year of that deal when Pittsburgh traded him to the Texans for a late-round pick. 

In 2023, Green appeared in four games and made three starts for the Texans at guard.
