Houston Texans offensive guard Kenyon Green (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the team's preseason win over the New Orleans Saints last fall and spent the entire 2023 campaign on Injured Reserve. It was an injury that Green had been dealing with since May. The 23-year-old has since made great progress and was participating at organized team activities last week. "Kenyon has done a really great job of putting himself in a position to compete," head coach DeMeco Ryans said. "He did a great job of working throughout the offseason. We know he had the surgery last season, so he was battling back, rehabbing." Green started 14 of 15 games as a rookie in 2022 and allowed 47 pressures, 31 hurries, 12 QB hits and five sacks at left guard while playing through a knee injury. Now healthy, the former first-rounder will have a chance this summer to reclaim his starting role.

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said that former first-rounder Kenyon Green (shoulder) is working back to full speed this offseason but will have to earn a starting role in 2024. "KG is a good kid. he'll have a full offseason, which he hasn't had. Nobody is guaranteed anything . Ultimately, it's going to come down to how he performs on the field," Caserio said. The Texans took Green 15th overall in 2022 out of Texas A&M. The 23-year-old offensive guard played in 15 games (14 starts) in his rookie campaign but didn't play at all in 2023 after hurting his shoulder in the preseason finale. He also missed the start of training camp in his first year and missed two games due to a knee injury in 2022. Before his injury last fall, Green was slated to serve as the team's starting left guard. He improved as a run blocker in his first year but struggled in pass protection.
