Juwann Winfree: Everything you need to know

Winfree (hand) was removed from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Winfree was placed on IR with a broken hand in late August, but the Texans have since decided to move on from the 28-year-old. The Colorado product last saw regular-season action with the Colts in 2023, failing to haul in his only target across eight games. Winfree is now free to sign elsewhere once he's fully healthy again.

The Texans placed Winfree (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday. Winfree signed with the Texans on Aug. 18 and played in Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, when he logged a 26-yard catch on his lone target. The nature and severity of his injury isn't clear, but by being placed on IR without a designation to return, Winfree will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Houston.

Winfree signed with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The wide receiver was placed on injured reserve with an unspecified issue ahead of the 2024 campaign and did not play during the season. Winfree spent parts of the previous five seasons with the Broncos, Packers and Colts, respectively, catching nine total passes for 75 yards and no scores. Now, he'll look to keep his career going in a receiver room led by Nico Collins, Christian Kirk and 2025 second-rounder Jayden Higgins.
