Per Aaron Wilson, the Texans are elevating DT Leki Fotu and S Kaevon Merriweather for the final game of the season.
Fotu, 27, is a former fourth-round pick by the Cardinals in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Utah. He finished out the final year of his four-year, $4,068,470 rookie contract that included a $773,470 signing bonus.
He was testing the open market for the first time in his career in 2024 before deciding to sign with the Jets. Fotu then signed with the Raiders this past offseason on a one-year deal. The Raiders waived Fotu in early December, and he caught on with Houston.
In 2025, Fotu has appeared in six games for the Raiders with four starts and recorded eight total tackles, three tackles for loss, and a sack. He has also appeared in one game for the Texans and recorded two tackles.
