Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Placed on active/PUP list
The Texans placed Quitoriano (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.
A 2022 fifth-round pick out of Oregon State, Quitoriano appeared in nine games as a rookie and caught seven of 14 targets for 113 yards and two touchdowns. 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.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: 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.
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.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Good to go
Quitoriano (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Mark Lane of USA Today reports.
Quitoriano sat out the Texans' Week 17 loss to the Jaguars after hyperextending his knee in the Texans' Week 16 victory over the Titans. His ability to open Week 18 prep as a full practice participant suggests that he'll be ready to play in Sunday's season finale in Indianapolis. Before sustaining the knee injury, Quitoriano had been serving as Houston's starting tight end and saw snap shares north of 70 percent in his last two full games, but he's been only lighting involved in the passing game. Jordan Akins, meanwhile, has drawn multiple targets in eight consecutive contests and looks like the better Houston tight end to roster for fantasy purposes.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Won't play Sunday
Quitoriano (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
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.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Not involved in practice
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.
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.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Non-participant on estimated report
Quitoriano (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
An MRI on Monday revealed Quitoriano hyperextended his right knee and bruised his quadriceps following an early exit from last week's loss to the Titans. While the rookie tight end avoided structural damage, he may be sidelined for at least one contest. However, he'll have two more opportunities to practice before the Texans need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: 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.
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.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Won't return Saturday
Quitoriano (knee) has been downgraded to out and won't return to Saturday's game against the Titans.
With O.J. Howard a healthy inactive for the Week 16 contest, the Texans will have to get by with Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan at tight end for the rest of the day. Quitoriano failed to haul in his lone target before departing the game.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Questionable to return
Quitoriano is considered questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Titans due to a right knee injury.
Quitoriano failed to record any receptions before exiting the contest. If he is ulitmately unable to return, Brevin Jordan would be the lone backup at tight end behind Jordan Akins.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: Finds paydirt
Quitoriano caught one of two targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.
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.

Texans' Teagan Quitoriano: TE snap leader in loss
Quitoriano failed to catch any of three targets in Sunday's 27-14 loss to Cleveland.
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.
