Re-signs with Houston
The Texans re-signed Hughes (ankle) on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hughes returns for a third consecutive season with Houston, and a 15th year in the NFL. Across 17 regular-season games in 2023, the veteran pass rusher played a rotational role, tallying 32 tackles (23 solo), three sacks and one forced fumble, though an ankle injury sidelined him in the playoffs. Back in 2022, Hughes notched 9.0 sacks while handling a similar share of defensive snaps, and now heading into his age-36 season he could benefit from the presence of both Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

After nine seasons in Buffalo and 12 in the NFL, Hughes signed on to be a veteran presence on the rebuilding Texans. At 34 and with his peak years behind him, Hughes dabbled in the fountain of youth and recorded nine sacks, the most since the 10 quarterback takedowns he had in 2014. The foreboding dark cloud to the season was that he had just one sack over the final eight games, which suggests his advanced years are a factor. He'll be 35 when the regular season drops and will be hard pressed to repeat last season's performance. Hughes could be productive as a part-time contributor, along with Jonathan Greenard, and benefit from the presence of third-overall pick in the 2023 Draft, edge rusher Will Anderson.
