They waived Hill with a failed physical designation. Hill played in two games in 2023, but happened to be on the field for just one defensive snap. He suffered a season-ending knee injury last preseason and apparently still is not healthy enough to play. Hill figures to garner little interest on waivers as the Texans eat a little money on the final two years of his rookie contract. Perhaps he’ll be a free-agent target elsewhere once healthy.

Hill suffered a significant knee injury in a pre-season game against the Los Angeles Rams and will have season-ending surgery. The former seventh-round draft pick from the University of Pittsburgh was expected to serve as secondary depth.
