Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans

Texans LE Anthony Weaver (knee surgery) will play this weekend.

It was believed at one point that Weaver may have suffered a setback in his rehab, but that doesn't appear to be the case. He'll be eased back into action, but is likely to start now that Houston has traded backup Jason Babin.

Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans

Texans DE/DT Anthony Weaver (rotator cuff) recently underwent surgery on his knee.

Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans

The Texans may reportedly head to training camp with Anthony Weaver and Anthony Maddox as their projected starting defensive tackles.

Weaver, who didn't apply consistent pressure from the end spot in 2006, is recovering from rotator-cuff surgery and questionable for camp. Like last offseason, where Travis Johnson fits into the plan is uncertain.

Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans

Texans placed defensive end Anthony Weaver on injured reserve with a torn rotator cuff, ending his season.

Antwan Peek got a start last week and should again this Sunday. Weaver did not have a productive debut in Houston with just one sack and 35 total tackles. We can't see him being released after the season because he brings veteran leadership, but Weaver may be asked to restructure. He will undergo shoulder surgery in the coming weeks.

Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans

Texans signed DE Anthony Weaver, formerly of the Ravens.

We reported the likely deal early Saturday, but it's official now. The 25-year old reportedly will get a signing bonus over $10 million, one of the more surprising figures of the day. Weaver is a better run defender than pass rusher.

Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans

DE Anthony Weaver is expected to sign with the Texans Saturday for a deal including $13 million in guaranteed money.

That is a huge contract for a player always seen as a solid, if unspectacular, starter. The Ravens lost two of them Saturday. Weaver should help Houston's rush defense and start in the team's new 4-3 defense. Robaire Smith may move inside.

Ravens DE Anthony Weaver may draw some interest from the Dolphins.

Any 3-4 defense looking for an experienced starter will check out Weaver. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are other teams that make sense.
