News

  • Leads team in tackles

    Grugier-Hill recorded a team-high 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: While Grugier-Hill was only on the field for 46 snaps (65 percent), he made his presence felt. He is seeing an expanded role due to Shaq Thompson (lower leg) being sidelined for the season. The veteran will look to stay hot in Week 4 when the Panthers host the Vikings.

  • Set for expanded role

    Hill looks set to step into a starting role for the Panthers with Shaq Thompson (lower leg) expected to miss the rest of the season, David Newton of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill replaced Thompson during Monday night's 20-17 loss to the Saints, handling 58 defensive snaps while racking up six tackles (five solo) and one sack. The development puts Grugier-Hill on the IDP fantasy radar heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Seahawks, but the Panthers' defense as a whole could struggle to replace both Thompson and Jaycee Horn (hamstring), who landed on short-term IR after sustaining an injury Week 1.

  • Lands in Carolina

    Grugier-Hill signed with the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill split time between the Texans and Cardinals last season, recording 48 total tackles over 15 games. The Panthers will get more depth at the inside linebacker position behind Shaq Thompson and Frankie Luvu, while also acquiring a proven special teams player.

  • Heads to the desert

    The Cardinals signed Grugier-Hill on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill will now join Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons in Arizona's linebacker corps following Tuesday's transaction. The 28-year-old requested a release from the Texans in late October, after he played just 18 defensive snaps during the Week 7 loss to the Raiders due to the team's recent activation of rookie third-round pick Christian Harris. Grugier-Hill paced Houston in tackles in 2021, and he's thus far racked up 40 tackles and six starts this season.

  • Cut by Houston

    The Texans granted Grugier-Hill his release Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: After the Texans activated rookie third-round draft pick Christian Harris for Week 7, he and Grugier-Hill platooned at weakside linebacker during a loss to the Raiders. Harris (38 snaps, 68 percent) had the greater share of snaps, and Grugier-Hill (18, 32 percent) may have seen the writing on the wall for his role being reduced over the second half of the season. The seven-year veteran requested his release, and the team quickly granted it. He was Houston's leading tackler in 2021 and started…read more

  • Leaving Houston

    Grugier-Hill will be cut by the Texans at his request, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: While Grugier-Hill's reason for leaving the team is unclear, a league source confirms this news. He's logged 40 tackles and one pass breakup through his six games with the Texans.

  • Seven stops in loss

    Grugier-Hill recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill exploded for 18 tackles in the season opener, but he's totaled just 15 stops over the past three games. Regardless, he continues to garner plenty of defensive snaps and is still on track to record a second straight 100-plus tackle season.

  • Full go Thursday

    Grugier-Hill (neck) was listed as a full participation on the Texans' injury report Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill fully returned to practice after being listed as a limited participant on Houston's injury report Wednesday. The 28-year-old recorded 18 tackles during the Texans' overtime tie with the Colts in Week 1, and he should serve an important role against the Bears' run-heavy offense this coming Sunday.

  • Listed as limited participant

    Grugier-Hill (neck) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill played 98 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps during Sunday's loss to Denver, but he presumably picked up a neck injury as well. If he isn't upgraded to a full participant Thursday or Friday, he may be in danger of missing his first game of the season. He was the team's leading tackler last year and has 23 stops through two games this year, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to Houston's defense.

  • Logs 18 tackles

    Grugier-Hill had 18 tackles in Sunday's 20-20 overtime tie with the Colts in Week 1.

    Analysis: A full overtime may have padded Grugier-Hill's stats, but he led the Texans last season with 108 tackles.

  • Expected to re-sign with Houston

    Grugier-Hill is expected to re-sign with the Texans on a one-year, $4 million deal Sunday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill was Houston's leading tackler in 2021, totaling a career-high 108 tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception. He saw an increased role after Zach Cunningham was let go midseason and figures to be a vital piece of the Texans defense in 2022.

  • Leading tackler

    Grugier-Hill recorded seven tackles, including one for a loss, in 28-25 loss to the Titans in Week 18.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill finished the season with a team-high 108 tackles, which represents a career best for the linebacker, who signed a one-year deal with Houston after spending five seasons as largely a substitute in Philadelphia and Miami. He added three sacks, three passes defensed, one interception and two forced fumbles to his seasonal resume. His stock is on the rise at the right time; the 27-year-old becomes an unrestricted free agent in the upcoming offseason. He told Brooks Kubena of the…read more

  • Will play Sunday

    Grugier-Hill (knee) was cleared from the Texans' injury report Friday.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill returned from COVID protocols Thursday but appeared on the injury report due to a knee issue that limited him in practice. After getting in a full practice Friday, Grugier-Hill should draw the start at middle linebacker Sunday against the 49ers.

  • Off COVID list, limited due to knee

    Grugier-Hill was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday but was limited in practice due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill had been dealing with a sprained knee prior to being placed in the COVID protocol. Assuming he's healthy enough to play Sunday in San Francisco, the starting linebacker will be looking add to his career high totals of 94 tackles and 3.0 sacks.

  • Added to COVID-19 list

    The Texans placed Grugier-Hill (knee) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill's status for Sunday's game in Jacksonville was already iffy after he sprained his knee in the Week 14 loss to Seattle, so his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list will present another obstacle he'll have to overcome in order to avoid an absence. The linebacker has been a tackling machine since Houston's Week 10 bye, racking up 45 stops to go along with two sacks and an interception over the team's past four contests.

  • Dealing with knee sprain

    Grugier-Hill was diagnosed with a sprained knee after exiting Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Seahawks, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Though the Texans don't believe Grugier-Hill sustained any ligament damage to his knee, his availability for the team's Week 15 matchup with Jacksonville is in question while he contends with the sprain. The 27-year-old has emerged as a high-end IDP commodity since stepping into a full-time role at linebacker for Houston in Week 2. Over his 11 appearances during that span, Grugier-Hill has racked up 92 tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Grugier-Hill (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill recorded six tackles before leaving the Week 14 contest early with a knee injury. In his absence, Neville Hewitt will likely see increased snaps for the remainder of the game.

  • Suffers knee injury Sunday

    Grugier-Hill (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill had a team-high six tackles -- two for loss -- before leaving the Week 14 contest early with a knee injury. If he is unable to return, Neville Hewitt will likely see increased snaps for the remainder of the contest.

  • Turns in historic game

    Grugier-Hill tallied 20 tackles (10 solo) and a sack in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The Colts more than doubled up the Texans in time of possession (41:35 to 18:25), resulting in the Houston defense staying on the field for most of the day. Thanks largely to the game flow, Grugier-Hill was able to make history in the blowout loss, establishing a new Texans franchise record for tackles in a game while also becoming the first NFL player since 1999 to finish with at least 19 tackles, three tackles for loss and a sack. Over his last four games alone, Grugier-Hill has amassed 47…read more

  • First pick proves vital

    Grugier-Hill had 12 tackles and an interception in a 22-13 win over the Titans in Week 11.

    Analysis: The interception came on the game's opening drive with Tennessee threatening in the red zone. As documented by Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle, Grugier-Hill saw Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill fixated on A.J. Brown and stepped in front of the pass at the Houston 12-yard line, returning it 82 yards. A potential Titans lead turned into a Texans lead three plays later when Ka'imi Fairbairn booted a field goal. It was the first interception of the season for Grugier-Hill, who also had two…read more

  • Racks up seven tackles

    Grugier-Hill recorded seven tackles in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill led the team with seven tackles, and he now has at least that many stops in three of his five games on the season. He's played in every defensive snap across the team's last two contests.

  • Shakes off injury

    Grugier-Hill (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill logged 70 percent of the defensive snaps in his last game (Week 2) and recorded nine tackles (six solo) and a sack. He'll return to the lineup in Week 4 against the Bills, though his role on the team's defense is still uncertain.

  • Not playing Week 3

    Grugier-Hill (knee) is inactive for Thursday's game versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: After appearing on Monday's practice estimate as limited with a knee injury, Grugier-Hill didn't make it onto the field at all Tuesday and Wednesday, which may have swayed the Texans' decision to keep him in street clothes on a short week. Look for Joe Thomas to take on a larger share of LB snaps in Grugier-Hill's absence.

  • Listed as questionable

    Grugier-Hill (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill has missed back-to-back practices since beginning the week as a limited participant. In the event that Grugier-Hill isn't able to suit up for Thursday Night Football, rookie Garret Wallow would be a candidate for an increased snap share.

  • Doesn't practice Tuesday

    Grugier-Hill (knee) didn't participate in practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill didn't practice Tuesday after being a limited participant Monday. The 27-year-old linebacker totaled nine tackles, a sack and a forced fumble against the Browns in Week 2. He will likely have to practice in some capacity to suit up against the Panthers on Thursday.

  • Listed as limited Monday

    Grugier-Hill (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: The Texans held a walkthrough Monday, but Grugier-Hill would have been limited if they held an actual practice. The 27-year-old linebacker had nine tackles, a sack and a forced fumble against the Browns in Week 2, so Houston will need him at full health Thursday to slow down Christian McCaffrey and the Panthers.

  • Houston-bound on one-year deal

    Grugier-Hill agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $3.25 million with the Texans on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill had a modest 28 tackles with the Dolphins last season, but his biggest strength is his coverage ability rather than his tackling. The linebacker only started one game for Miami last season but logged 16 starts over the previous two campaigns with the Eagles.

  • Not suiting up Sunday

    Grugier-Hill (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Though the illness is not related to COVID-19, it is serious enough to keep Grugier-Hill out of the lineup against the Bills. With Elandon Roberts (knee) recently placed on IR and Shaq Lawson (ankle) questionable, Miami's linebacking corps would be thin for the key matchup.

  • Full practice Wednesday

    Grugier-Hill (hand) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old sustained the hand injury during the Week 6 win over the Jets, but he's good to go coming out of the bye week. Grugier-Hill should continue to work in a rotational role in Miami's linebacking corps.

  • Injures hand versus Jets

    Hill is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets due to a hand injury.

    Analysis: If Hill isn't able to retake the field Sunday, it could leave Miami's linebacker corps in a susceptible position. Kyle Van Noy (groin) is inactive and Andrew Van Ginkel (concussion) has already been ruled out to return.

  • Chance at starting gig

    Grugier-Hill (back) has a shot to earn a starting job during training camp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill is coming off four straight campaigns as a key depth player in Philadelphia's linebacker corps, highlighted by a career-best 2018 performance in which he notched 45 tackles, two sacks, one interception and one forced fumble. The 26-year-old now faces the opportunity to compete for an increased role in Miami's defense, which is in need of playmakers at inside linebacker.

  • Finds new home

    Grugier-Hill (back) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Dolphins on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old missed the final two games of the 2019 season after he underwent back surgery Dec. 18, but he's expected to be fully recovered by the start of OTAs. Grugier-Hill produced 23 tackles (17 solo) across 10 games for the Eagles last year, and he'll likely operate as a depth linebacker for the Dolphins.

  • Shifts to IR

    Grugier-Hill (back) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: The Eagles released a statement stating that Grugier-Hill reported a back injury following Sunday's win over the Redskins, and upon further evaluation, the 25-year-old linebacker will undergo surgery to repair a lower lumbar disc herniation. According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Grugier Hill's agent revealed the fourth-year pro had been dealing with this injury for a majority of the season, and he should be fully recovered in three to four weeks. While he won't be eligible to…read more

    Grugier-Hill (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill is set to retake the field after a one-game absence. He'll play a key role in Philadelphia's linebacker corps in Washington on Sunday.

    Grugier-Hill (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill landed in the concussion protocol after last week's loss to the Dolphins and will be unavailable Week 14. T.J. Edwards could see increased defensive snaps in his absence Monday.

  • In concussion protocol

    Grugier-Hill did not practice Thursday due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Grugier-Hill briefly exited Week 13's loss to the Dolphins following a collision, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but he managed to retake the field and finish the contest. The fourth-year pro has now entered the league's five-step concussion protocol, which he'll need to fully clear before returning to game action. Alex Singleton would likely play an expanded role on defense if Grugier-Hill were forced to miss any time.
