The Texans agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Fatukasi on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Fatukasi will stay in the AFC South after being released by the Jaguars on Monday. The 6-foot-4 defensive tackle joined Jacksonville on a three-year, $30 million deal in March of 2024, and he compiled 48 tackles, 1.5 sacks and four passes defended while appearing in 30 games over the last two regular seasons. Veteran defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins currently set to hit free agency when the new league year starts Wednesday, and his potential departure could open up a starting role for Fatukasi in Houston.

Inks deal with Houston

Gets let go
Fatukasi was released by Jacksonville on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Fatukasi received birthday wishes from the Jaguars' official Twitter account earlier in the day. However, the now 29-year-old was then cut from the team just a few hours later. The move will save Jacksonville $3.5 million in cap space, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. The UConn product finished his 2023 campaign with 24 combined tackles and a pass defended.
