Houston Texans Dealt Major Blow As Star Player Suspended By The NFL For Six Games

Denico Autry made it clear that he did not know the medication contained a banned substance, but he did accept his suspension while he apologized to the Texans, his teammates, and the fan base.

 

Finally, I want to assure our fans that my commitment to competing to the best of my ability has only grown, and I look forward to returning to the field,” he said.

Denico Autry’s Suspension Puts The Houston Texans In A Bind

The Houston Texans Denico Autry to a two-year, $20 million deal with $10 million guaranteed just this offseason, per ESPN.

The 34-year-old had a career-high 11 1/2 sacks last season for the Titans.

He is certainly going to have much lower than that after he was suspended for violating its policy against performance-enhancing drugs.

His untimely suspension puts Houston in a little bit of a bind, as he was supposed to be a huge part of this defense.

The Texans now have to go another route, as they were supposed to use the defensive end on obvious passing downs, which is something he excelled at.

The Texans did sign defensive end Jerry Hughes a week before camp began, so maybe he will get a huge chance to step up.
