Houston Texans' guard Kenyon Green is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season due to a shoulder injury sustained in a game against the New York Jets. This follows a season of struggles for Green, who allowed the most pressures and the second-most sacks among NFL guards. The Texans contemplated benching him in favor of Kendrick Green, who ultimately replaced him after the injury. With his rookie contract ending next year and a significant $5 million cap hit looming in 2025, Green's future with the Texans is uncertain. His performance issues are attributed to health challenges and misalignment with the team's offensive scheme. Green had made offseason efforts to improve, including working with former All-Pro Ndamukong Suh, but was unable to translate this into consistent in-game performance.
