Greenard is slated to ink a four-year, $72 million contract with Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Logs 12.5 sacks this past season
Greenard logged 52 tackles, 15 for loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble over 15 regular-season games in 2023.
Analysis: Greenard, who enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, picked a fine time to have a breakout season. He and Will Anderson (7.0 sacks, 67 QB pressures) were lethal bookends on the defensive line. Greenard has expressed interest in returning, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, but edge rushers are a premier commodity in the NFL, and Greenard will want to be paid accordingly.

Cleared Saturday
Greenard (ankle) is officially active for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Browns.
Analysis: After consecutive days as a non-participant at practice, Greenard closed out the week in limited fashion.

Gets tagged as questionable
Greenard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Browns.
Analysis: Greenard managed to practice in a limited capacity Thursday after missing practice Tuesday and Wednesday, giving himself a chance to potentially suit up for the wild-card round.

Greenard (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday.

Will miss Week 18
Grennard (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Greenard hasn't played since suffering the injury Week 16 against the Browns. His absence in essentially a win-or-go-home meeting with Indianapolis will certainly be a blow to the Texans' defense, and especially their pass rush. With Will Anderson (ankle) still questionable, Houston may be relying on its depth on the edges to get the job done against the Colts.

Analysis: Greenard played just three defensive snaps in Week 16 before missing Week 17 with the ankle injury. With Greenard having 12.5 sacks on the season, his loss has been big for Houston. The Texans need to win their Saturday game against the Colts in order to lock in a playoff spot

Out for Week 17
Greenard (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: This will be Greenard's first absence of the season. The fourth-year breakout edge rusher has accrued a career-high 12.5 sacks through 15 games to lead the team, as no other teammate has more than 5.0 sacks. It's another significant injury for this Houston squad.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Logs Week 2 sack
Greenard had a sack and two quarterback hits in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 2.
Analysis: 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.

Leads team in sacks
Greenard (foot) finished the season with a team-high eight sacks along with three tackles over 12 games in 2021.
Analysis: Greenard missed a good chunk of time due to multiple injuries -- he sat out five games and missed parts of two others -- but there's no doubting his impact when healthy. He thrived in a move from linebacker to defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. The 2020 third-round pick could use some help on the other side, which the Texans will address during the offseason. He's locked up for another two seasons and will return as the top pass rusher on the defensive line.

Analysis: Greenard has logged three straight limited practices this week, but he has played in each of Houston's last seven contests and might be able to suit up for the divisional matchup. If he can't go, then Jordan Jenkins or Eric Wilson could be in line for an uptick in playing time.

Keeps up sack streak
Greenard had three solo tackles, one sack and one pass breakup during Sunday's 38-22 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Gennard has recorded at least one sack in four straight games, bringing his total to seven through six appearances. The second-year pro has been one of the lone bright spots of Houston's defensive front, and he's now set for a prime Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins' vulnerable O-line.

Gets Murray twice
Greenard recorded four tackles, two sacks and a pass defensed in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: That's two consecutive weeks with a pair of sacks for Greenard, who moves into the top 10 in that category with six for the season. He's taken nicely to a shift from linebacker to edge rusher for the Texans.

Records second sack
Greenard had three tackles, two for a loss and a sack in Week 5's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Greenard recorded his second sack in three games played this season. The 2020 third-round pick worked as an outside linebacker in Houston's 3-4 defense during his rookie year, but he's moved to defensive end in Lovie Smith's 4-3 alignment. Through three games, he has seven tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

Off injured list
Greenard (chest) wasn't listed on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Greenard injured his chest in Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Bills and was unable to return to the game following the injury. The defensive end seems healthy and should be able to play Sunday against the Patriots, barring any setbacks. Expect Jacob Martin and Charles Omenihu to fill in for Greenard if he can't play.

Has chest injury
Greenard (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Buffalo, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenard leaving early leaves an already beat-up Texans defense further depleted. This likely means more work for Jacob Martin and Charles Omenihu.

Full participant in practice
Greenard (illness) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Greenard was forced to miss the Texans' season opener as he was dealing with an illness the day of the game. The second-year Texan will look to make his season debut Sunday against the Browns, after participating in his first full practice of the week Wednesday.

Inactive against Jacksonville
Greenard (illness) is inactive for Week 1 against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Greenard recovered from an ankle sprain suffered in preseason, but he was still unable to crack the active roster for the season opener due to an undisclosed illness. The 24-year-old recorded 19 tackles (10 solo) and a sack in 13 games as a rookie last year.

Sprains ankle
Greenard sustained a sprained ankle in Saturday's 26-7 win over the Packers in Preseason Week 1, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Houston head coach David Culley referred to the injury as a "little ankle sprain," but the team has not yet indicated the severity of the injury. That will likely happen when the medical staff can get a better look.

Switching positions
Greenard was working out with the Texans' defensive linemen during Thursday's practice, Mark Berman of Fox 26 KRIV reports.
Analysis: Greenard was drafted as a linebacker out of Florida by the team last season, and he saw action in 13 games, recording 19 tackles (11 solo) and a sack over that span. Greenard is listed at 263 pounds, so he'll likely look to add some weight on this offseason in order to provide depth at defensive end heading into the 2021 season.

Records first career sack
Greenard had one tackle, a sack, in Sunday's 27-20 win over New England.
Analysis: Greenard, who helped fill in while Jacob Martin was on the reserve/COVID-19 list the last two games, played just 18 snaps but recorded the first sack of his career.

Season-high snap count
Greenard had three tackles over a season-high 57 snaps in the Week 9 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Greenard, a 2020 third-round pick out of Florida, had played just 11 snaps before Week 9. He was given a more prominent role while the Texans managed a depleted linebacking corps. Both Dylan Cole (back) and Whitney Mercilus returned this week, but Jacob Martin (COVID-19) remains sidelined and Brennan Scarlett (forearm) was placed on injured reserve. Greenard could continue to see elevated playing time along with a role on special teams.

Moving up depth chart
Greenard is expected to see an uptick in usage at outside linebacker for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: The Texans are all of the sudden feeling thin at linebacker, with Jacob Martin testing positive for the virus Thursday and both Dylan Cole and Whitney Mercilus being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after coming in close contact with Martin. With Kyle Emanuel dealing with a concussion, that leaves both Greenard and Brennan Scarlett as healthy outside linebackers. Despite suiting up in four games this season, Greenard has yet to record an IDP-relevant stat.

All clear Wednesday
Greenard (ankle) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Greenard was inactive for Thursday's opener against Kansas City with the ankle issue but appears to be ready for a return. Now healthy, Greenard should expect to handle depth linebacker duties for Week 2 against Baltimore.

Inactive for opener
Greenard (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's season opener against Kansas City.
Analysis: Greenard logged three straight limited practice sessions leading up to Thursday's contest, so his lack of availability isn't a complete surprise. As long as Greenard remains sidlined, Davin Bellamy or Jacob Martin could see increased snaps.

Questionable for season opener
Greenard (ankle) is officially questionable for Thursday's season opener against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Greenard was limited in practice Monday and Tuesday before being handed another limited designation in Wednesday's estimation of participation had the Texans held a practice. Davin Bellamy or Jacob Martin could see an uptick in workload should Greenard sit Thursday.

Dealing with injury
Greenard (hamstring) missed Wednesday's scrimmage, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Greenard suffered the injury, however, it's serious enough to force him to miss valuable practice time. The 2020 third-round pick will have just one week to prepare and get healthy, as the Texans are set for a Week 1 matchup against Kansas City Sept. 10. If Greenard misses time, Davin Bellamy or Jacob Martin could be in line to see an uptick in snaps.
