Houston Texans offensive lineman Greg Mancz underwent a procedure to help his ankle and get ready for his final season under contract.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the 27-year-old had arthroscopic ankle surgery and is expected to make a full recovery in time for the Texans’ offseason workout program, which gets kicked off in April.
Mancz played nine games for the Texans, starting in one of them, Week 4’s 16-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers at NRG Stadium.
The former undrafted Toledo Rocket from 2015 has been a steady and reliable interior offensive lineman for the Texans, filling in at guard and center when needed. In his five seasons with the Texans, Mancz has been active for 54 games, starting in 28 of them, the bulk of which came in 2016 when he started every game at center for Houston.
Mancz is entering the final year of his contract and is due $2.1 million. The Texans could cut Mancz in the offseason and not suffer any dead money.
