The Houston Texans announced Friday the placement of inside linebacker Dylan Cole and cornerback Gareon Conley on the physically unable to perform list.
Cole is still recovering form a torn ACL that he sustained in the club’s victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12 of last season. The former 2017 undrafted free agent from Missouri State was voted team captain of the special teams unit by his teammates. Cole was signed to a restricted free agent tender worth over $2.1 million in the offseason.
Conley came over from the Oakland Raiders prior to the Texans’ Week 8 encounter with the very same team. A former 2017 first-round pick from Ohio State, the Texans were in need of cornerback help after injuries ravaged the group. Houston decided not to pick up Conley’s fifth-year option for 2021, which would counted $10.2 million against the Texans’ salary cap. The cornerback also underwent ankle surgery in the offseason.
Cole and Conley are eligible to come off of a the PUP list once they pass their physicals.
