News

  • Drop in production in 2024

    Autry finished the 2024 regular season with 13 total tackles (eight solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed over 10 games.

    Analysis: Autry signed with the Texans ahead of the 2024 campaign, operating as a depth option behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter. Additionally, the defensive lineman was suspended for the first six games of the year for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs. As a result of his role and the suspension, Autry was limited to his lowest tackle total since recording 13 takedowns in 2014. The 34-year-old is under contract for one more year with Houston in 2025.

  • Will suit up in wild-card round

    Autry (knee) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Autry missed Houston's regular-season finale due to a knee injury and began this week by sitting out practice. However, he upgraded to a limited session Wednesday before logging a full practice Friday and is good to go for the wild-card game against Los Angeles. When healthy this season, Autry has mostly served in a rotational role, coming off the bench in eight of his 10 contests.

  • Questionable for wild-card round

    Autry (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Autry appears towards being on the probable side of playing as he was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Barring any setbacks, Autry and Derek Barnett should serve as the Texans' top rotational defensive ends Saturday behind starters Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

  • Returns to practice Wednesday

    Autry (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Autry was held out of the Texans' regular-season finale against the Titans due to a lingering knee injury. He opened this week as a DNP on Tuesday, but his ability to practice Wednesday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery and should be able to play in Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers.

  • Sits out practice

    Autry (knee) did not practice Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Autry missed the regular-season finale against the Titans due to the injury, but he is expected to suit up for Saturday's playoff game against the Chargers. He's part of the rotation at defensive end and had 13 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defensed over 10 games played during the regular season.

  • Missing Week 18

    Autry (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Analysis: Autry appears to have aggravated his knee injury in the Texans' Week 17 loss to the Chiefs on Christmas Day, as he played just 15 defensive snaps and was unable to practice all week. The 34-year-old's absence Sunday could also be precautionary, given that the Texans have already secured the No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs. Regardless, Dylan Horton is expected to serve as one of the Texans' top reserve defensive ends in Autry's stead.

  • Active for Christmas Day

    Autry (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against Baltimore.

    Analysis: Autry was a limited practice participant all week due to a knee injury, but he has been cleared to play Christmas Day and will provide depth for the Texans' defensive line. Over his last seven games, Autry has tallied 13 tackles (eight solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two pass defenses.

  • Questionable, but expected to play

    Autry (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Ravens but is expected to play, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Autry has been listed as a limited practice participant all week due to a knee injury he likely picked up in Houston's Week 16 loss to Kansas City. Autry's official status for Christmas Day may not be known until the Texans announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Derek Barnett would serve as the top backup defensive end behind starters Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson if Autry is not cleared to play.

  • Suiting up Week 12

    Autry (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

    Analysis: Autry didn't practice at all this week due to a knee injury, but that won't keep him out of Sunday's matchup against his former squad. The defensive tackle has been playing around half of Houston's defensive snaps since making his Texans debut in Week 7 following a season-opening suspension. Autry's availability Sunday will help Houston's pass rush, as he has 3.0 sacks through five games on the campaign.

  • Questionable for Week 12

    Autry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Analysis: Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Texans' week of practice, the 34-year-old still has a chance to suit up in Week 12. If Autry misses Sunday's divisional matchup, the impact would be mitigated by the return of Will Anderson. If he is able to play through his knee issue, Autry will likely serve as a rotational defensive end.

  • Unavailable for practice

    Autry (knee) did not participate at the Texans' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Autry recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed in the team's win over the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. He may have picked up a knee injury in the process and his status at practice the rest of the week is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tennessee.

  • Reinstated Monday

    Autry was reinstated from the Reserve/Suspended list Monday.

    Analysis: Autry will be eligible to play again after being suspended for the first six games of the season after violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs. The Texans were granted a one-game roster exemption for the 34-year-old, who will likely contribute as a rotational pass rusher.

  • Likely returning this week

    Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters Monday that Autry is expected to be back from his six-game suspension this week, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Autry inked a two-year, $20 million deal with the Texans this past offseason after posting 11.5 sacks with the Titans in 2023. After serving his six-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs, the first-year Texan is expected to make his 2024 debut against the Packers in Week 7. Expect Autry to serve as a rotational edge rusher behind both Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson.

  • Faces six-game suspension

    Autry is slated to be suspended six games for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Inks deal with Texans

    Autry agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Texans on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Published: Mon, Mar 11 at 3:22pm by Rotowire.com

  • Career-high 11.5 sacks

    Autry recorded 50 tackles (30 solo), 11.5 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles across 17 games with the Titans in 2023.

    Analysis: Autry has been a key pass rusher for the Titans since joining the team in 2021. He reached new heights in 2023, however, logging career-high marks in tackles, sacks and snaps played. Autry is set to hit free agency and could be in for one final payday as he enters his age-34 season in 2024.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Has another multi-sack game

    Autry recorded four tackles (four solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss versus the Texans.

    Analysis: Sunday's performance pushed Autry's season sack total up to 11.0, a career high for the 33-year-old defensive end. The Seahawks have actually been relatively pass-happy so far this season, so Autry could get another healthy dose of pass-rushing opportunities in Week 16.

  • Good to go versus Houston

    Autry (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Autry had a limited practice session Thursday sandwiched between two DNPs, but he'll suit up for Sunday's AFC South clash. His presence is particularly welcome, with Jeffery Simmons (knee) missing his second straight game and the Titans waiving Teair Tart on Saturday. Autry has a career-high 40 tackles (25 solo), including 9.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 13 games in his third year in Tennessee.

  • Listed as DNP

    Autry (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Autry played a key role for the Titans' pass rush in their Week 14 win over the Dolphins, especially with Jeffery Simmons (knee) out of the contest. Autry had four tackles (three solo), including a strip sack that led to a key turnover for the Tennessee defense. He's up to a career-high 40 tackles on the year, and his nine sacks also marks a career-best that he's reached twice.

  • Secures sack in loss

    Autry recorded four tackles (three solo), including a sack, while also deflecting a pass and forcing a fumble in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Autry was able to get to Gardner Minshew late in the second quarter, stripping the quarterback while bringing him down, a fumble that was recovered by teammate Elijah Molden. The defensive end has compiled 18 tackles, including five sacks, while deflecting four passes along with the forced fumble over six games since the Titans' Week 7 bye week.

  • Gets sack in win

    Autry recorded four tackles (one solo), including a sack in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Autry was able to get to the quarterback for the first time since Week 4, raising his season sack total to five through seven games. The defensive lineman has made 24 tackles overall while also deflecting two passes and forcing a fumble so far in 2023.

  • Set to face Bengals

    Autry (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Autry turned in two limited practices to close the week, and he'll be ready to suit up. He'll be a key part of the team's pass rush while squaring off against Joe Burrow, as Autry has at least one sack in every game this season.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Gets questionable tag

    The Titans have listed Autry (groin) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Autry popped up on the injury report Thursday due to a groin injury. He logged consecutive limited practices to close the week. His status Sunday will likely depend on how he is feeling that morning. Kyle Peko would likely replace him at defensive end if he does not get the green light.

  • Suiting up

    Autry (foot) is active Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: Autry was able to log limited practices all week while nursing the injury. His availability should be good news for the Titans' linebacker corps.

  • Questionable for Sunday at Browns

    Autry (foot) was a limited participant at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Browns.

    Analysis: Although he's been limited, Autry practiced all of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so it seems like he's on the probable end of the questionable designation. If he can't play in Week 3 , Rashad Weaver could see an increased snap count.

    Published: Fri, Sep 22 at 3:25pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Three tackles, including sack

    Autry recorded three tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Autry was able to corral the opposing quarterback for the second straight week, raising his sack total to 2.5 on the young 2023 campaign. The defensive end has recorded at least 7.5 sacks in three consecutive seasons, but he could be set to challenge the career-high nine sacks he managed in both 2018 and 2021 if he keeps up his early-season production.

    Published: Mon, Sep 18 at 6:30pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Gets to quarterback

    Autry recorded five tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Autry was pacing for a breakout season both in terms of his role and production in 2022, but knee and bicep injuries limited him to only 12 games. He played on 56 percent of snaps in Week 1 against the Saints and started his season by getting plenty of pressure on the quarterback. Autry will serve in a specialized pas-rushing role, though it's possible his workload will expand at some point this season.

  • Sheds injury designation

    Autry (biceps) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's injury report, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Autry missed Thursday's loss to the Cowboys with the injury, but it appears he'll be ready to go for Saturday's game against the Jaguars, which will determine who wins the AFC South. Autry's ability to suit up is certainly good news for the Titans and their pass rush abilities in Jacksonville.

  • Unavailable Thursday

    Autry (biceps) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: With Autry sidelined due to a biceps injury and a plethora of fellow Tennessee linebackers either on injured reserve or inactive, Tarell Basham and Rashad Weaver figure to command the two starting outside linebacker spots Thursday night versus Dallas. The 32-year-old's next chance to see the field will now come in Week 18 against Jacksonville.

  • Unlikely to play Thursday

    Autry (biceps) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    Analysis: Autry didn't practice Monday but logged limited sessions Tuesday and Wednesday, though it appears he'll likely still be sidelined Thursday due to a biceps injury. Bud Dupree (pectoral) has already been ruled out, so if Autry is also sidelined, Tarell Basham and Rashad Weaver would be candidates for starting roles.

  • Makes impact in losing effort

    Autry (biceps) recorded seven tackles (five solo), a sack, two pass defenses and a forced fumble in Saturday's Week 16 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Autry almost made a big play in the first quarter of the contest, knocking the ball away from Davis Mills as the QB neared the goal line. However, Rex Burkhead recovered the ball in the end zone for a Texans touchdown. Autry's red-zone sack of Mills in the fourth quarter ended with a more positive result, as it pushed Houston back three yards to help force a field-goal attempt. Autry appears to have suffered a biceps injury in the loss and was listed as a DNP in Monday's walkthrough, but he…read more

  • Back to full practice

    Autry (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: The Titans have a lengthy injury report that includes a number of starters missing practice Wednesday, but they'll at least get one of their top defenders back in the lineup for Saturday's matchup with Houston. Autry has seven sacks and 16 quarterback hits in 10 appearances, giving him an outside shot at double-digit sacks even after the four-game absence.

    Analysis: Autry will miss a fourth straight game due to a knee issue he sustained in the Titans' Week 11 win over Green Bay. Autry's absence for Week 15 leaves Rashad Weaver and Tarell Basham as the only healthy outside linebackers opposite Bud Dupree.

    Autry (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Autry will miss a third straight game due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 11 against Green Bay. As long as Autry remains out, expect Mario Edwards and DeMarcus Walker to garner more snaps. However, Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, who was activated off IR ahead of Week 13, is also a candidate for increased pass-rushing opportunities while Autry is sidelined.

  • Won't play vs. Cincinnati

    Autry (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Autry will miss his first game of the 2022 season as he recovers from a knee injury he sustained in Week 11 at Green Bay. In the veteran pass rusher's absence, Mario Edwards and DeMarcus Walker should see increased reps on the edge against a shaky Cincinnati offensive line.

  • Expected to miss time

    Head coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that he anticipates Autry will miss time with a knee injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Autry departed Thursday's contest in Green Bay with an apparent knee injury, and he was ultimately unable to re-enter the game. While the exact severity of the 32-year-old's injury along with his recovery timeline remains uncertain, David Long, Dylan Cole and Rashad Weaver appear like Tennessee's top healthy linebackers at the moment with Harold Landry (knee), Olasunkanmi Adeniyi (neck), Chance Campbell (knee), Zach Cunningham (elbow) and Bud Dupree (hip) each dealing with injuries of their…read more

    Analysis: It's big news for the Titans' defense, as Autry was one of three defensive players to be activated in time for Week 17, including fellow starter Bud Dupree.

    Analysis: Autry was listed as questionable earlier this week due to a hip problem, but he practiced fully Friday and that was enough to clear him for this contest. He has racked up seven tackles (six solo) and 1.5 sacks through four games this season.

  • Provides pass rush

    Autry logged three tackles and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's Week 2 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Autry signed a sizeable contract with the Titans in the offseason, and he provided exactly what the team hoped for in this matchup. On both drives in which he sacked Russell Wilson, the Seahawks were forced to punt on the same set of downs. Autry also saw a big increase in snap rate, jumping from 43 percent in Week 1 to 69 percent in Week 2.

  • Inks three-year deal with Tennessee

    Autry signed a three-year, $21.5 million contract with the Titans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Autry spent the last three seasons with the division-rival Colts, racking up 20 sacks in that span. He'll bolster what was a lackluster pass rush for Tennessee during the 2020 campaign and should slot in to a starting defensive end role.

  • Comes off COVID-19 list

    The Colts activated Autry (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Autry was limited by an illness in his return to practice Thursday, but it seems like he has a solid chance of returning from his two-game absence during Sunday's tilt against the Texans. Over his last three appearances, Autry has notched four sacks.

  • Placed on COVID-19 list

    Autry (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday and won't play Sunday against the Packers, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: While teams are not required to reveal whether players put on the list have the illness or were simply in close contact with someone who did, Autry missed practice Thursday due to an illness, so the former scenario seems to be the likely one for him. If that's the case, Autry will need to remain away from the team for 10 days after receiving a negative test, meaning he'll more than likely have to miss the Week 11 clash with Tennessee as well. All we know for now, though, is that he'll sit out…read more

  • Likely retaining starting spot

    Autry (concussion) will be competing to retain his starting spot in training camp, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Justin Houston and offseason acquisition DeForest Buckner are two obvious starters along the defensive line, but the other two spots remain somewhat up in the air. Autry is likely the favorite to start on the interior after totaling 32 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble through 14 starts in 2019, but he can also shift to the edge if necessary. The 29-year-old missed the final two games of the season due to a concussion and is entering the final year of his contract.

  • Won't suit up for season finale

    Autry (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Autry will miss his second straight game due to this concussion. The 29-year-old had felt regression in the sack department, recording 3.5 after posting nine last year, but he still managed to accrue 17 quarterback pressures compared to 18 last season.

    Analysis: Autry suffered the concussion during Monday's loss to the Saints, so it's not a major surprise to see he wasn't expected to practice only two days later. The 29-year-old will need to fully clear the concussion protocol to take the field Week 16.

  • Dealing with concussion

    Autry is in the concussion protocol, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.
