No targets through four games
Quitoriano went without a target while playing eight of 65 snaps on offense Sunday in the Falcons' 34-27 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Quitoriano has been active as the Falcons' No. 3 tight end through each of the first four games of the season but has seen just as much playing time on special teams as offense. He has yet to draw a target and will continue to function mostly as a blocker when he takes the field with the offense.

Part of crowded TE group
Quitoriano made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday.
Analysis: The Falcons kept four tight ends, with Quitoriano and Feleipe Franks competing for reserve snaps behind Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner. Quitoriano caught nine passes for 146 yards during his first two seasons in Houston but wasn't targeted across 96 offensive snaps last year.

Makes play on special teams
Quitoriano played 13 special-teams snaps during Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.
Analysis: After not suiting up during the preseason opener, Quitoriano played exclusively on special teams against the Titans. Despite the limited action, Quitoriano made his presence felt, forcing and recovering a fumble during a kickoff in the third quarter. Quitoriano is battling with Feleipe Franks for the third, and likely final, tight end spot behind Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner.

Signs with Atlanta
The Falcons are signing Quitoriano (calf) on Friday after hosting him for a workout, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano was limited to seven-regular season appearances with Houston in 2024 before sustaining a calf injury. He didn't record any receptions in that span. Now having proved his healthy via a workout with Atlanta, Quitoriano will spend the offseason competing to secure another reserve gig.

Plays seven games in 2024
Quitoriano (calf) appeared in seven regular-season games in 2024 but did not otherwise show up on the box score.
Analysis: Quitoriano has been plagued by injury the last two seasons. He ended the 2023 campaign on IR due to a groin issue, and when he returned fully healthy for training camp, he strained his calf during the Texans' Hall of Fame Game against the Bears on Aug. 1. The Texans and Quitoriano came to an injury settlement agreement in early September, but he was brought back to Houston after being signed off Chicago's practice squad in early October. He operated as a depth tight end behind Dalton Schultz…read more

Ruled out for Saturday
The Texans announced Friday that Quitoriano (calf) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's divisional-round road game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Quitoriano was initially labeled as questionable for the AFC divisional round, but he won't be activated from IR in time to suit up versus Kansas City. His 21-day practice window is nearing its conclusion, so even if Houston emerges victorious over Kansas City, it's unclear whether Quitoriano will have a chance to return down the stretch during the playoffs.

Questionable for divisional round
Quitoriano (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's AFC divisional-round clash against Kansas City.
Analysis: Quitoriano has been on injured reserve since Nov. 28, but he was able to practice all week and has put himself in a position to be activated from IR ahead of Saturday's playoff game. Quitoriano didn't register a target across seven regular-season games, and if he was cleared to play, he would serve as a run-blocking tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.

Begins week with full practice
Quitoriano, who is on IR due to a calf injury, was a full practice participant Tuesday.
Analysis: Quitoriano has been on injured reserve since Nov. 28 due to a knee injury. He was designated to return to practice last Tuesday and practiced in full all week but wasn't activated ahead of Houston's wild-card win over the Chargers last Saturday. There's a clearer path to Quitoriano being activated ahead of this Saturday's divisional-round clash against the Chiefs, however, as fellow tight end Cade Stover landed on IR on Tuesday due to a fractured collarbone.

Quitoriano (calf) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Quitoriano, who missed the final five games of the regular season, was designated for return during the practice week leading up to Saturday's playoff game. With Quitoriano unavailable, Cade Stover and Irv Smith will operate as the backups to starting tight end Dalton Schultz.

Practices in full Tuesday
Quitoriano (calf) was a full participant in practice Tuesday.
Analysis: The tight end, who had his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened earlier in the day, took a big step in the right direction ahead of Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Chargers. Quitoriano was placed on IR in late November with what was originally believed to be a knee injury, though it was listed as a calf issue on Houston's Tuesday injury report. The 2022 fifth-round pick played on 96 offensive snaps in 2024 and did not catch a pass.

Designated for return to practice
The Texans announced Tuesday that Quitoriano (calf) has had his 21-day window to return from IR opened.
Analysis: Quitoriano will have a 21-day window to practice without counting against the active roster, during which time he can be brought off IR if deemed healthy. That makes Saturday's wild-card round playoff game against the Chargers his first chance to retake the field.

Placed on IR due to knee injury
The Texans placed Quitoriano (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Quitoriano may have picked up the injury during the Texans' Week 12 loss to the Titans this past Sunday. By being placed on injured reserve, Quitoriano will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 18 against Tennessee on Sunday, Jan. 5 the earliest he could be activated off IR. Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover are the two healthy tight ends on the 53-man roster, so the Texans could elevate Irv Smith from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Limited on Wednesday
Quitoriano (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Quitoriano dealt with a calf issue earlier this season, but the knee injury is a new one. He's played 22 percent of the offensive snaps across seven games since rejoining the Texans on Oct. 8. Quitoriano has yet to draw a target in the pass game and is mostly used as a blocker.

Goes without target in Week 11
Quitoriano played 19 of the Texans' 64 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Since being signed off the Bears' practice squad in October, Quitoriano has been active for each of the Texans' ensuing six games. However, despite logging at least nine snaps on offense in all six of those contests, he's yet to draw a target. He'll continue to operate mainly as a blocker when he takes the field.

Untargeted in win
Quitoriano was not targeted over nine snaps in Sunday's 41-21 win over New England in Week 6.
Analysis: The 2022 fifth-round pick by Houston rejoined the Texans off the Bears' practice squad last week. He's not expected to see much activity in terms of targets, but the organization likes Quitoriano's blocking technique and considers him an extra offensive lineman.

The Texans signed Quitoriano off the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano was a fifth-round pick by the Texans in 2022 and spent the previous two seasons with the team before being waived/injured and eventually cut just ahead of Week 1 last month. He spent roughly two weeks in Chicago and is now headed back to Houston, where he caught nine passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets across 16 regular-season games with the Texans.

Quitoriano (calf) worked out for the Cardinals on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano was waived by the Texans with an injury settlement Sept. 4, giving him the chance to find a new opportunity, as opposed to spending the season on IR. His ability to complete a tryout would suggest the Oregon State product is healthy and ready to contribute to a team in need of tight-end depth.

Quitoriano is expected to miss at least a few weeks after sustaining a strained calf during Thursday's preseason game against the Bears, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.

Injured in Hall of Fame Game
Quitoriano suffered a lower-body injury during Thursday's preseason Hall of Fame Game against the Bears, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano performed well prior to getting hurt, catching two passes for 21 yards and a touchdown. The tight end was injured in the first half and had to be carted off the field, so there's a possibility he suffered a serious injury. Quitoriano has been competing for a roster spot during training camp among a tight-end room that also includes Dalton Schultz, Brevin Jordan and rookie fourth-round pick Cade Stover.

Likely to land on IR
The Texans are expected to place Quitoriano on injured reserve after he suffered a groin injury in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano has split his snaps this season between special teams and on offense as a depth tight end behind Dalton Schultz. With Quitoriano expected to miss time to recover from his groin injury and Brevin Jordan (foot) also set to sit out with a plantar fasciitis issue, the Texans could look to add a tight end to their active roster prior to their Week 9 game against the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Quitoriano made his first catch since Week 1 on just his third target of the season. Houston's tight ends garnered a season-high 11 targets in the loss, but 10 of them went to starter Dalton Schultz.

Quitoriano did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars in Week 3.
Analysis: Quitoriano was targeted in the first quarter, the second time quarterback C.J. Stroud has looked to the tight end, who caught his other target in Week 1 for 11 yards. He's mainly around to block and has seen the second-most playing time among the tight end group behind Dalton Schultz and ahead of Brevin Jordan. As the better blocker, Quitoriano figures to outplay Jordan most weeks, but if game situations call for a receiver, that would be Jordan, who scored a touchdown Sunday.

Analysis: Quitoriano made his preseason debut after being removed from the active/PUP list last week.

The severity of the 6-foot-6 tight end's injury remains unclear, but he's eligible to practice and/or play at any point during the preseason. When healthy, Quitoriano will compete with Brevin Jordan for backup snaps behind Dalton Schultz.

Opens eyes in finale
Quitoriano caught three of four targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 32-31 win over the Colts in Week 18.
Analysis: Quitoriano used the last game of his rookie season to flash some of his athletic potential. Used primarily as a blocking tight end since being activated off injured reserve Week 9, the 2022 fifth-round pick broke out with two catches of more than 20 yards (22 and 52). The Texans have soured on Brevin Jordan, and the tight end position is wide open next season. However, Houston fired head coach Lovie Smith, so there will be a new coaching regime in place and anything is possible in 2023.

Won't play Sunday
Quitoriano (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
Analysis: Quitoriano was forced out with a hyperextended knee and bruised quadriceps in the Week 16 win over Tennessee. The rookie was then sidelined for each practice during Week 17 prep, so he'll now sit out for the first time since his Week 9 debut versus Philadelphia. Quitoriano has caught four of 10 passes for 30 yards and two touchdowns this season, so his absence could lead to increased opportunities for Brevin Jordan and O.J. Howard behind No. 1 tight end Jordan Akins.

Quitoriano (knee/quadriceps) was spotted working off to the side during the open portion of Thursday's session and is expected to be listed as a non-participant on the Texans' second Week 17 practice report, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Though the rookie tight end avoided any structural damage after exiting early in the Texans' Week 16 win over the Titans, he hyperextended his right knee and bruised his quadriceps. The Texans are considering Quitoriano day-to-day with his pair of injuries, but after failing to practice in any fashion so far this week, he'll need to log some on-field activity Friday to have a legitimate chance at suiting up Sunday against Jacksonville.

Avoids structural damage to knee
Quitoriano underwent an MRI on Monday and was diagnosed with a hyperextended knee and bruised quadriceps following his early exit from Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: The Texans are viewing Quitoriano as day-to-day at this stage, with his status for this Sunday's game against the Jaguars likely to hinge on how he fares in practices Wednesday through Friday. If the rookie is forced to miss time, the Texans would likely turn to Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan as their main pass-catching tight ends, while O.J. Howard could factor back into the mix as a run blocker after he was a healthy inactive for two of the team's last three contests.

Finds paydirt
Quitoriano caught one of two targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Quitoriano, who made his fourth straight start at tight end, caught his second touchdown of the season. He missed the first seven games with a knee injury but has seen his playing time increase since being activated for Week 9. Quitoriano has been Houston's tight end leader in snaps the last five weeks. It hasn't translated into much production -- eight targets, three catches, 28 yards -- but the rookie fifth-round pick figures to maintain his starting role over the final three games.

TE snap leader in loss
Quitoriano failed to catch any of three targets in Sunday's 27-14 loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: Quitoriano remained the leader in snaps from the tight end position, receiving 40 plays with Jordan Akins (34) and Brevin Jordan (24) following. O.J. Howard was inactive for the first time this season. Quitoriano is seen as the Texans' best blocker at the position, which is useful for a team that's had issues at quarterback and relies on rookie running back Dameon Pierce for much of its offense.

Collects two catches in loss
Quitoriano caught both his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Quitoriano led Houston's tight ends in snaps for a second consecutive game, establishing himself as the starter. Jordan Akins is the one with the most fantasy potential, but Quitoriano is the more trusted blocker on a team that wants to run more than pass. It's conceivable the Texans re-introduce Brevin Jordan -- inactive for three straight weeks -- at some point, but that playing time would likely come at the expense of O.J. Howard.

Quitoriano led all Houston tight ends with 37 offensive snaps in Sunday's 23-10 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Quitoriano did not catch his lone target -- a red zone look -- but he was in the starting lineup and was used more than other TEs, a strong a sign the coaching staff wants to evaluate him down the stretch. The 2022 fifth-round pick missed the season's first eight games due to a knee injury.

More snaps, no targets
Quitoriano was not targeted over 27 snaps in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: After scoring a touchdown in his season debut Week 9, Quitoriano was given more snaps -- up from 18 -- but they didn't translate into targets. Brevin Jordan was made a healthy inactive Sunday, however, suggesting Quitoriano has taken over one of the three active tight end spots on the roster.

Quitoriano could play an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Giants, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano made his season debut in Week 9, catching a touchdown pass while playing 18 snaps. The 2022 fifth-round draft pick out of Oregon State can bolster the "Y" position -- the in-line blocking tight end that is most often considered an extra tackle -- against the New York defense the blitzes more frequently than any other NFL team and pressures quarterbacks at the ninth-highest rate.

Scores in season debut
Quitoriano caught his lone target for a two-yard touchdown reception in Thursday's 29-17 loss to Philadelphia in Week 9.
Analysis: Quitoriano made his season debut after managing knee swelling since training camp. His TD came on Houston's first drive and was a contested 50/50 ball. It was an odd night for targeting, as the Texans' top two receivers -- Brandin Cooks (personal) and Nico Collins (groin) -- were inactive. There's no reason to believe Quitoriano will play a large role going forward.

Analysis: Quitoriano sustained a knee injury in the preseason and was placed on the Texans' IR ahead of the regular season. The fifth-round rookie was then designated to return to practice Week 7, and he will now be available to play for the first time ahead of Thursday's game against the Eagles. Quitoriano will jostle with Brevin Jordan, O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins for playing time in Houston's crowded tight-end room moving forward.

Nearing return
Quitoriano (knee) will be added to the 53-man roster Thursday, Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.com reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano is expected to make his NFL debut Thursday against the Eagles. The rookie, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, has been recovering from a knee injury suffered during training camp. How big of a role he may see out of the gate is hard to say -- currently Brevin Jordan, O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins seem to be in a three-way timeshare at the position.

Designated to return
Quitoriano (knee) was designated to return from the Texans' injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano missed the first six games of the season after being placed on Houston's IR ahead of the regular season. Now, the rookie tight end will have a 21-day window to practice and return to the active roster; otherwise, he will be placed on season-ending IR. Quitoriano's first chance to play will come in Sunday's game against the Raiders, though he may start out in a limited role with tight ends Brevin Jordan, O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins already on the roster.

Sent to IR
The Texans placed Quitoriano (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Quitoriano will need to miss at least four games before being eligible to come off IR. The rookie fifth-round pick could thus still have a chance to contribute in his inaugural campaign.

Unavailable for preseason finale
Quitoriano (knee) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear when Quitoriano suffered the knee injury, as he tallied a six-yard touchdown in Houston's second preseason game. He joins Antony Auclair (knee) and Pharaoh Brown (hamstring) among injured tight ends on the depth chart, which leaves the position in flux heading into the regular season.

Scores in preseason win
Quitoriano caught his lone target for a six-yard touchdown in Friday's preseason win over the Rams.
Analysis: Quitoriano made his professional debut Friday after being held out of last week's preseason opener. With injuries to tight ends Pharaoh Brown (hamstring) and Antony Auclair (knee), Quitoriano was able to make a case for a spot on the final roster. The fifth-round draft pick is currently listed fourth on the depth chart. Houston is expected to be run-heavy and may keep four tight ends, but a decision may come down to whether Houston wants a fourth tight end or a fullback, such as Andy Janovich.

Activated from PUP list
Quitoriano (undisclosed) was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports.
Analysis: Quitoriano spent less than a week on the active/PUP list to begin training camp. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Oregon State will compete for a depth role at tight end with the Texans.

Added to PUP list
Quitoriano (undisclosed) was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list by the Texans on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It's unclear for what reason Quitoriano will start the first training camp of his career on the PUP list, but he is still eligible to practice and play at any point this preseason. When healthy, the fifth-round pick out of Oregon State should compete for a depth role at tight end behind Brevin Jordan and Pharaoh Brown heading into the regular season.
