Jacob Phillips has an almost unbelievable injury history.
In 2020, week 1 and again in week 5, he tore his MCL and missed 6 games.
In 2021, he ruptured his biceps tendon at the beginning of the season which required surgery, and for which he missed all but the last 4 games.
In 2022, he missed most of of the season with a ruptured left pectoral tendon which required surgery.
He missed all last season with a torn right pectoral tendon suffered in preseason for which he required surgery

Lonnie Ballentine and Bennie Joppru consider him injury prone!

2024 / Rebuilding Block 4 After Playoffs / Texans
I guess there’s only two ways left for him to go…..up or out. Hopefully, he gets an up season in before his career is over.
It most always starts with the later picks but the article tells you who they have signed
Deebo?

He a ST guy but can he play slot?
If so, Texans may hold Tank back a couple games or so.
I can't foresee any circumstance where their 7th round pick is worth more than our 6th round pick

Love it.
Nick still cookin'.

Yeah. Special teamer who plays slot and fullback. Might mean the end of Beck as well with Skowronek and Jordan deputizing in the FB role.
Forget Deebo Samuel, LA Rams have NFL’s true ‘Wide Back’
In LA Rams News: Forget Deebo Samuel, the LA Rams have the NFL's true 'Wide Back' in the form of FB/WR Ben Skowronek, both as blocker and receiver

Under the radar, former Notre Dame big body WR & 7th rd gem draft steal by the Rams now a Houston Texan. Love what I see out of Ben on the tape
Nick & front office are on fire
bet they caught CJ reaction on bleecher report draft show when Ricky Pearsall was snagged in the 1st rd. This addresses that with next years 6th. Gotta love it, Let’s Go!!!!

Texans acquire Skowronek in trade with Rams
The Houston Texans have traded for Rams WR Ben Skowronek.

Comparing this guy to Pearsall? Ok...whateves..
If he's going to make it to the 53, and I'd say he's got a pretty good shot, he has to be a jack of all trades. ST ace, 6th or 7th WR (depending on roster construction position they list him at), and spot duty as a FB/HB type. That's his ticket.
He's a different guy than Woods. While I still think he'll likely be cut to clean up cap space, it wouldn't shock me if they keep Woods, either. There's a ton of flexibility in how they go about the group on offense.

Not specifically the player, but his hands & position. Unlike Pearsall he comes with Super Bowl ring which he contributed to in all four post season games
Jeez at the least take over for Tank on those goal line blocking plays!

New addition led the league in ST tackles last season. I expect him to find a way on the 53. May not have a defined position, but Frank Ross will want him as an ace.
Kevin Walter used do that to DEs.

Whoa, we don't talk about Kevin "Please-get-us-an-upgrade" Walter anymore.
This and ST's is where he can contribute. Plus he's got good hands.
This is what football should be about.

He doesn't run a 4.41 like Pearsall. But he's a better blocker.
They drafted and now have traded for a bunch of Dawgs.

Yup. DeMeco is making this team in his image, and I love every second of it.

So Doaks is waived. Is Fisher the only unsigned draft pick now?

Interesting to note DeMeco saw him 2x/year when he was DC of 49ers.
Texans Add 'Physicality and Playmaking' In Trade For Ben Skowronek
Coach DeMeco Ryans gave two important attributes that wide receiver Ben Skowronek adds to the Houston Texans.
www.si.com
"We’re excited to add more depth to our wide receiver position and more competition," Ryans said following the first day of rookie minicamp. "Ben is a tough player. I’ve played against him a couple of times, and he’s a true competitor. He plays the game the right way, so I’m excited to add his physicality and his playmaking ability to our team."

Perhaps it was what was needed to keep that player from signing with another team?

Maybe he'll become Arian Foster 2.0, but here's a link to his college stats:

For comparison, last year's UDFA RB, Xazavian Valladay, had more rushing yards, receiving yards, and TDs in his Senior season than Brooks had in his entire career. Nearly a quarter million guaranteed for a RB with under 900 total rushing yards just seems odd to me.
Where has your source been? He was signed March 15

??? Did he have medical issues that had to be vetted? Thought he signed several weeks ago.

" my stats are good but it took me approximately 25 more receptions to get what Nico got stat wise last season. I'm also 6 years older and I better grab a similar deal as soon as possible rather than gambling that somebody else is going to want me at 32 even if I have a very good year. I don't want to be Steven Nelson sitting out in the cold. Let me get Nick on the phone."Wonder what Diggs thinks of Collins' gold strike?
