Texans' Denzel Perryman: Uncertain for Week 4
The Texans have given Perryman (hand) a questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Perryman was a nonparticipant at practice all week, so it remains to be seen how much of a chance he actually has at suiting up. If he does get the green light, he could end up seeing a limited workload. Henry To'oTo'o likely would again be the prime beneficiary if Perryman ultimately gets ruled out for his second straight game.

Perryman has 18 tackles through two contests. Christian Harris, Blake Cashman and Henry To'oTo'o started at linebacker for Houston last week.

Texans' Denzel Perryman: Returns to practice Tuesday
Perryman (shoulder) participated Tuesday at OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Perryman wasn't practicing to start OTAs while rehabbing from offseason labrum surgery, but he appears to be in the final stages of his recovery and should be good to go for training camp.

Perryman is recovering from offseason labrum surgery and didn't practice Tuesday at OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Perryman recorded 237 tackles over 27 games in two seasons with Las Vegas, but he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 16 last year. He agreed to a one-year deal with the Texans this offseason and presumably had to pass a physical, but he remains sidelined to start Houston's offseason program. It's unclear when he'll be able to play again, but whenever he's healthy, the veteran linebacker figures to compete for a sizable role in the Texans' defense.

Perryman spent the last two seasons with the Raiders and will now make the move to Houston. He finished the 2022 campaign with 83 tackles (54 solo), one sack, two pass breakups and two interceptions in 12 contests.
