The Steelers took Green in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft and gave him 15 starts at center as a rookie. He was a healthy scratch for all 17 games in 2022 before being traded to the Steelers. Green then missed most of the following season with a torn meniscus. He played a reserve role in Houston last year and saw some reps at both guar spots. Having experience at all three interior positions, Green brings some versatility to Buffalo as a backup.

In addition to undergoing a successful surgery on his meniscus, Rapoport also reports there were no additional injuries to Green’s knee. Green was acquired from the Steelers in late August and immediately filled in as the Texans’ left guard. In three games, Green allowed four pressures and no sacks, and earned a PFF grade of 58.9. Green is under contract through 2024 and should have a chance to start again for the Texans next season.

The Texans traded for Green prior to the season and now lose the starting offensive lineman for the near future due to a torn meniscus. C.J. Stroud has been throwing behind a banged-up offensive line and that will continue with Green’s absence.

The Steelers used a third-round pick on Green in the 2021 NFL Draft, but have now dealt him to Houston. In his two seasons with the Steelers, Green started 15 games — all coming in his rookie year. Last season, Green was a game-day inactive for all 17 games. He now gets a chance to restart his career with the Texans.
