Former Texans Starter Gets Confirmation After Unfortunate Notice

Houston Texans defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. had his appeal denied for an $8,263 NFL fine. The penalty stems from a roughing the passer infraction for a low hit on Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen during Houston's 36-31 season-opening loss.

Edwards is currently out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL. Several other Texans players, including Azeez Al-Shaair and Jamal Hill, have also faced fines from the league for on-field hits and uniform violations during the 2026 season.
