Texans Putting Two On IR Including OT Braden Smith

Smith will miss four to six weeks while he recovers from a torn plantar fascia, per Caserio, but will return this season. 

Smith, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Colts back in 2018. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $7,193,688 rookie contract, which included a $3,311,772 signing bonus, when he signed a four-year, $70 million extension. 

He signed a two-year deal worth $20 million, with a maximum value of $25 million, in March, including $13.5 million fully guaranteed.

In 2025, Smith appeared in 13 games for the Colts, making one start at right tackle.
