Autry is slated to be suspended six games for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. As a result, Autry, who signed a two-year deal with the Texans this offseason after logging 11.5 sacks with the Titans in 2023, isn't in line to make his regular-season debut with the team until a Week 7 tilt against the Packers. The 34-year-old's looming absence thus represents a hit to Houston's pass rush out of the gate this coming season.

Autry is slated to be suspended six games for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. As a result, Autry, who signed a two-year deal with the Texans this offseason after logging 11.5 sacks with the Titans in 2023, isn't in line to make his regular-season debut with the team until a Week 7 tilt against the Packers. The 34-year-old's looming absence thus represents a hit to Houston's pass rush out of the gate this coming season.
Autry agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Texans on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Autry started his career with the Raiders before spending three seasons with the Colts followed by three with the Titans. He continues his journey across the AFC South in Houston, where he projects to compete for edge reps opposite Will Anderson. The 33-year-old tallied a career-high 11.5 sacks in Tennessee during the 2023 campaign.
