Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Active in opener
Greenard recorded five tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 25-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.
The Texans' defense performed respectably in the season opener, getting to Lamar Jackson four times while limiting the Ravens to 265 yards. Greenard is coming off an injury-marred season but recorded eight sacks over 12 games in 2021. The addition of rookie Will Anderson, who made an impact with a sack and six tackles, on the opposite end could free up Greenard for a return to his 2021 form.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Activated from injured reserve
The Texans activated Greenard (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Greenard has been on injured reserve since suffering a calf injury during Week 4, but he'll presumably be active for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs. Before his absence, the third-year defensive end totaled nine tackles and 1.5 sacks while playing a sizable role along Houston's defensive line.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Returning to practice
The Texans designated Greenard (calf) to return from IR on Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Greenard hasn't played since Week 4 due to a calf injury. He now begins a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice without counting against the active roster. Houston can activate Greenard at any point in that span, meaning he could be available as early as Sunday versus the Cowboys.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Limited with calf injury Thursday
Greenard (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.
Greenard was sidelined during the team's Week 5 contest versus Jacksonville with an ankle injury, but he now popped up on Thursday's practice report with an apparent calf issue. Although the 25-year-old was able to log a limited session Thursday, his activity level during Friday's practice will be something worth monitoring when considering his potential Week 7 availability against the Raiders.

Greenard (calf) will miss Week 7's game at Las Vegas, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
This will be the second straight game Greenard's missed, and there was a bye week in between. The Texans typically rotate four players at defensive end, and he's been replaced in that rotation. Greenard has 1.5 sacks through four games.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Absent from injury report Wednesday
Greenard (ankle) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.
Greenard did not practice Week 5 and was unavailable for the Texans' win over the Jaguars due to an ankle injury, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. Nevertheless, the defensive end is healthy again coming off the team's bye week. Greenard has recorded nine tackles and 1.5 sacks so far this season, and he should reprise his starting role for Sunday's contest against Las Vegas.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Won't play at Jaguars
Greenard (ankle) won't travel with the team to Jacksonville ahead of Sunday's game.
It was previously reported by Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com that Greenard was trending toward playing Week 5, but he'll now be missing Houston's last game before its Week 6 bye. He should be back to full strength after the bye week, but in the meantime Jerry Hughes and Rasheem Green should be in line for increased reps.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Trending toward playing Week 5
Greenard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, but he's trending toward playing, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Greenard played in a season-low 54 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps in Week 4 versus the Chargers, presumably in part because he was limited with an ankle injury. Assuming he plays in Week 5, he'll rotate with veteran Jerry Hughes and Rasheem Green for reps at defensive end.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Dealing with ankle injury
Greenard was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's walkthrough due to an ankle issue, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Greenard played a season-low 54 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 4 and is now dealing with an ankle injury that he presumably picked up during the team's loss to the Chargers. The 2020 third-round pick will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 5.

Texans' Jonathan Greenard: Logs Week 2 sack
Greenard had a sack and two quarterback hits in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 2.
Greenard played just 42 of 72 (58 percent) defensive snaps Sunday after getting a 67 percent share in Week 1. There was no reason given for the slight drop in snaps, but it could have been due to Houston's defense melting down in the fourth quarter and overtime against the Colts the previous week. Texans head coach Lovie Smith wanted to keep that unit fresh for the whole game. Greenard led the Texans with eight sacks in 12 games last season.

The 25-year-old led Houston with eight sacks last season (12 appearances), and the team is reportedly hopeful he can make further strides during the 2022 campaign.

Greenard suffered a foot injury late last season and had offseason surgery, but head coach Lovie Smith said he believes that the defensive end is on track to be ready for camp. The 25-year-old led the Texans in sacks in 2021, recording eight while notching 33 total tackles over 12 games.
