Texans Activate G Kenyon Green

Green has been out since early November with a shoulder injury that was feared to be season-ending at the time. 

The former first-round pick had also been benched, so there’s been no shortage of adversity this year. 

Green, 23, was a three-year starter at Texas A&M. He was a consensus All-American in 2021 and 2020, earned first-team All-SEC honors in 2021, and second-team All-SEC in 2020. The Texans used the No. 15 overall pick on him in the 2022 draft. 

He is in the third year of a four-year, $15,953,416 rookie contract that includes an $8,782,485 signing bonus. There is a fifth-year option for the team to pick up in 2025.

In 2024, Green has appeared in nine games for the Texans with nine starts at left guard.
