Report: Texans release T Seantrel Henderson off non-football injury list

The Houston Texans are releasing offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson off of the NFI list (non-football injury), according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

#Texans OL Seantrel Henderson, who has been on the non-football injury list, is being released off the NFI, source said. The issue was from a slight back injury, but he’s healthy now. Could provide quality depth at a need position.

Henderson, 27, was dealing with a slight back injury. He is now healthy, according to Rapoport.

The Texans signed Henderson to a one-year deal in the 2018 free agency period. He started the season-opener at right tackle before suffering a season-ending broken ankle.

Houston resigned Henderson to a one-year contract extension on Jan. 19. Again, the team started him at right tackle in Week 1, before losing the job to Roderick Johnson the next week and rookie Tytus Howard from Week 3 onward.

Henderson should field some interest in the open-market due to the lack of quality offensive tackles available. He has 29 career starts to his name split between the Texans and the Buffalo Bills.

Without Henderson in-fold, the Texans have four tackles on the roster in Howard, Johnson, Laremy Tunsil and Chris Clark.
