Placed on IR, as expected
Settle (foot) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: It was reported earlier Thursday that Settle is slated to undergo season-ending foot surgery, so his placement on IR was inevitable. The veteran defensive tackle will conclude the campaign with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed over 12 games. Settle consistently logged a defensive snap share of around 50 percent prior to being sidelined, so his loss is significant for the Texans' defense.

Set for season-ending surgery
Settle (foot) is set to undergo season-ending foot surgery, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Settle will end the 2025 season with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed through 12 games. The starting defensive tackle's absence the rest of the way will represent a significant loss to a dominant Texans defense. With Settle sidelined, Tommy Togiai is in line to see significantly more defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.

Career year in 2024
Settle finished the 2024 regular season with 31 total tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding a fumble recovery across 17 games.
Analysis: Settle signed a two-year contract with the Texans in March, which turned out to be a good deal for Houston. The defensive tackle secured a career-high 31 total takedowns while matching a career-best 5.0 sacks in 2024. Settle will enter the 2025 campaign with some momentum ahead of a contract year with Houston.

Good to go Thursday night
Settle (calf) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Tuesday.
Analysis: Settle tweaked his calf during Sunday's win over the Colts, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice without limitations Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, the 2018 fifth-round pick should be able to suit up against the Jets on Thursday night. Settle is on a two-game sack streak, and through the first eight games of the regular season he has accumulated 14 tackles (13 solo), including 4.0 sacks.

Dealing with calf injury
Settle injured his calf in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Indianapolis and is questionable to return.
Analysis: Settle had a good game going prior to getting hurt, notching a team-high three tackles, including 1.0 sacks. The defensive tackle has maintained a steady workload throughout the campaign, logging over half of the Texans' defensive snaps every week since Week 3. Kurt Hinish could be called upon to absorb Settle's snaps if the latter isn't able to return following halftime.

Headed to Houston
The Texans signed Settle to a two-year deal worth up to $7 million Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After spending the first six years of his career with the Commanders and Bills, the 26-year-old defensive lineman is headed to Houston. Across Settle's two seasons with the Bills, he appeared in 32 games and recorded 33 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while also defending one pass. The Virginia Tech product is expected to have the chance to compete for a solid role on the Texans' defensive line, especially with the departure of Sheldon Rankins this offseason.

Will return against Dolphins
Settle (calf) is active Week 3 against Miami.
Analysis: Settle will not only return after a week of limited practices, but he could see a much larger role given the absence of both Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring). The fifth-year DT made just one tackle in 28 snaps in Week 1, so while he probably won't be on the average IDP radar, the Buffalo defensive front will be counting on him to keep up its early season momentum.

Questionable for Week 3 return
Settle (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Settle missed the Bills' Week 2 victory but logged three limited practices leading up to the showdown in Miami. With both Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring) ruled out, Settle could have a big role along the defensive line if he is cleared to play.

Back to work after missing Week 2
Settle (calf) has been able to practice on a limited basis the past two days.
Analysis: Settle missed the Week 2 win over Tennessee after making a one-tackle debut for the Bills in Week 1, a game where he saw 42 percent of the defensive snaps. He's a depth guy for now, but with the defense so banged up heading into an important divisional game, any healthy body that can provide capable play will go a long way.

Won't play Monday
Settle (calf) is out Monday against the Titans, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Settle logged a limited practice Saturday, but the five-year-pro still isn't ready to take the field. With Ed Oliver (ankle) also ruled out, the middle of the Bills' defensive line will be thinner than you would hope for against Derrick Henry. Settle will work to be ready for Week 3 against the Dolphins.

Listed as doubtful for Week 2
Settle (calf) is doubtful for Monday's contest against the Titans.
Analysis: Settle didn't practice Thursday or Friday but returned in a limited fashion Saturday. However, he's still unlikely to suit up Monday. With Ed Oliver (ankle) already ruled out, the Bills may be a bit thin at defensive tackle for their matchup with Derrick Henry.

Sits out Wednesday's session
Settle (undisclosed) did not practice Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Whatever is ailing Settle, he'll have an extra day to get better since the Bills don't square off against the Titans until Monday. The free-agent signee played 42 percent of the defensive snaps in the team's opener, posting one tackle.

Returns to practice Thursday
Settle practiced again Thursday after missing the previous two days with a groin injury, Nick Wojton of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Settle was seen participating in individual sessions during Buffalo's practice Thursday. The defensive tackle saw significant playing time over his first four NFL seasons with Washington, and he could push for a similarly consistent role behind DaQuan Jones and Ed Oliver heading into the regular season.

Missing practice time
Settle missed practice for the second straight day Tuesday due to a groin injury, Grace Heidinger of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Settle was a sneaky good signing after spending four decent seasons in Washington, though he has a new defense to learn, and any missed practice time takes on added importance.

Gets opportunity with Buffalo
Settle signed a two-year contract with Buffalo on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Settle spent the first four seasons of his career in Washington, serving on special teams and as a rotational defensive lineman. His best season came in 2020, when he racked up five sacks and 19 total tackles. Settle should have the chance to contribute in Buffalo, but he doesn't project as a full-time player.

Won't play Tuesday
Settle (coach's decision) is inactive for Tuesday against the Eagles.
Analysis: Settle cleared COVID protocols and was activated from the reserve/COVID list Tuesday, but he will not suit up. With Settle getting the night off, Matthew Ioannidis and Akeem Spence should soak up the extra snaps at defensive tackle behind starters, Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen when Washington plays the Eagles on Tuesday.

Ready to play Week 15
Settle (illness) cleared protocols and was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Eagles, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Settle tested positive for COVID-19 exactly one week ago and would have been in line to sit out against Philadelphia had the game been played Sunday, but the NFL's decision to push the contest back two days provided sufficient time for him to clear protocols. He'll likely fill a depth role along the Washington defensive line Tuesday.

Moves to COVID list
Washington placed Settle on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Analysis: According to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Settle tested positive for the virus, which means that if vaccinated, he'll need to be asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and return two negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart in order to make himself eligible to play Sunday in Philadelphia. While the Washington defensive line was shorthanded due to a number of COVID-19-related absences in Week 14, Settle played a season-high 27 defensive snaps and totaled three tackles in Washington's…read more

Activated by Washington
Settle (undisclosed) was activated by Washington on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Settle began camp on the non-football illness list due to an unspecified illness, but he'll return following a brief absence. The 24-year-old recorded 19 tackles (12 solo), including five sacks, while appearing in all 16 games last year.

Placed on NFI list
Settle was placed on the non-football illness list Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Enjoys career-best season
Settle finished 2020 with career highs for tackles (19), sacks (five) and defensive snaps (347), starting one of his 16 games.
Analysis: The 2018 fifth-round pick doesn't get much recognition, serving as backup defensive tackle on a line that's loaded with first-round talent. Regardless, Settle was an important part of Washington's run defense, earning a career-best PFF grade (69.3, 43rd among DTs) to back up the career highs for sacks and tackles. He should be back in a similar role in 2021, the fourth and final season of his rookie contract.

Full-go in practice Thursday
Settle (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: The 2018 fifth-round draft choice has been a constant presence for Washington over his three pro campaigns, missing just one of a possible 47 regular-season contests. Settle has emerged as a pass rusher this season, garnering five sacks and seven QB hits over a workload of 22.4 defensive snaps per game (with one start). Given his practice level Thursday, Settle's chances of suiting up Sunday night against the Eagles are looking strong.

Fully participates in practice

Won't face Jets
Settle (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Jets.
Analysis: Settle suffered a hamstring injury during Week 9's loss to the Bills, and he'll need more time to tend to the issue despite coming off a bye. The second-year pro didn't practice in any capacity this week, so he could still have numerous hurdles to surmount in his recovery.

Leaves with injury
Settle was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Bills with a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Settle plays in a reserve role, but his depth is important considering the Redskins only have four healthy defensive linemen when he's out. If the second-year pro is unable to return to the contest, he'll benefit from Week 10's bye and look to return Week 11 against the Jets.
