Henry To'oTo'o - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Big pay day To'oTo'o signed a two-year, $16 million extension with Houston on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact To'oTo'o has the chance to earn up to $1 million more in incentives. The 25-year-old totaled 95 tackles, two and a half sacks and four pass deflections in 2025. To'oTo'o was a staple on one of the league's best defenses alongside Azeez Al-Shaair, and it should be a similar story this season with heavily used rotational linebacker E.J. Speed (quad) out without a clear timetable for return.

Role unchanged in 2025 To'oTo'o finished the 2025 regular season with 95 tackles (42 solo), 2.5 sacks, four passes defensed, and a fumble recovery over 17 games.

Impact To'oTo'o, who was a staple in the linebacking crew in 2024, was expected to take a step back in usage this season. That expectation was fueled by the return of a healthy Christian Harris and the addition of free agent E.J. Speed, but To'oTo'o remained an integral part of the defense. The Texans played a lot of nickel, which naturally limits one linebacker position, with To'oTo'o and Azeez Al-Shaair making the cut. To'oTo'o has one year remaining on his rookie contract.

Season high stops in win To'oTo'o recorded 12 total tackles (five solo) in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

Impact To'oTo'o was able to pace the team in takedowns, securing a new season-high 12 stops in the contest. The linebacker has now reached double-digit tackles in two of the last three contests and three times overall this year. To'oTo'o is now up to 93 total tackles (42 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed over 16 contests during his third campaign with Houston.

Double-digit stops vs. Arizona To'oTo'o logged 10 tackles (four solo), including one tackle for a loss, during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact To'oTo'o reached double-digit stops for the second time this season Sunday, and he finished second on the team in tackles behind Azeez Al-Shaair (12). To'oTo'o is up to 77 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, so he has three more games to reach the tackling century mark for a second-straight year, starting with this Sunday's home tilt against the Raiders.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sacks Allen in Week 12 win To'oTo'o posted seven tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Houston's 23-19 win over Buffalo on Thursday.

Impact To'oTo'o was responsible for one of the Texans' eight sacks on Josh Allen, with the former's taking place on the last play of the third quarter that resulted in an eight-yard loss. To'oTo'o is up to 2.5 sacks on the year, 1.5 of which have come over his last three games. He has accumulated 28 tackles (12 solo) and two pass defenses in the six games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Five tackles in dominant win To'oTo'o recorded five total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

Impact To'oTo'o played a reduced amount of snaps on defense for the second week in a row, but he was still able to notch at least five takedowns for the fourth time this season. The linebacker has now registered 31 total tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed over five games this year.

Five tackles in easy win To'oTo'o recorded five tackles (two solo) in the Texans' win over the Titans on Sunday.

Impact After playing more than 90 percent of the defensive snaps across the first three games of the season, To'oTo'o was in on just 48 percent of the snaps against Tennessee. An injury wasn't noted during the contest, but perhaps the blowout nature of the game allowed the Texans to give To'oTo'o a break in the second half. On the year, the third-year linebacker has 26 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass breakup on 85 percent of the snaps.

Three solo tackles vs. Jags To'oTo'o logged four tackles (three solo) during the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact To'oTo'o played 62 of 70 defensive snaps Sunday and finished tied for fourth most tackles on the team.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 11 stops vs. Bucs To'oTo'o logged 11 total tackles (seven solo) in Monday night's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact The third-year linebacker from Alabama has had a productive start to his 2025 campaign, having now recorded 17 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended through just two games. To'oTo'o and Azeez Al-Shaair appear to be one of the NFL's scariest inside linebacker tandems, and the two are expected to continue making plays as the Texans travel to Jacksonville in Week 3.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs six tackles, sack in loss To'oTo'o recorded six tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Texans' loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Logs 105 tackles in second season To'oTo'o finished the 2024 season with 105 tackles (54 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season g...

Impact To'oTo'o started all 15 regular-season games he appeared in during his second season and upped his tackles total by 44 from 61 as a rookie. He missed Weeks 7 and 8 in the middle of the season due to a concussion but still led the Texans in tackles, logging 30 more than the next closest teammate. To'oTo'o should be locked into an every-down role for the 2025 campaign.

JANUARY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies 10 tackles vs. Kansas City To'oTo'o finished Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs with 10 tackles (five solo).

Impact To'oTo'o co-led the Texans in tackling Saturday with Eric Murray. To'oTo'o has played at least 60 defensive snaps in five of his last six games, and over that span he has accumulated 47 tackles (24 solo), including 0.5 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble. To'oTo'o is up to 97 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, and he'll look to eclipse the century mark against Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the Ravens on Wednesday.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high 11 tackles vs. Fins To'oTo'o registered 11 tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one forced fumble during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins.

Impact To'oTo'o logged double-digit tackles Sunday for the second time this season and played every single defensive snap for the third time. He also tallied his first sack since Week 2 when he combined with Danielle Hunter to get to Tua Tagovailoa for a one-yard loss early in the first quarter. To'oTo'o is now up to 87 combined tackles through 12 games, and he is on track to crack the 100-tackle milestone over the Texans' final three games of the 2024 regular season.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Eight tackles vs. Jaguars To'oTo'o registered eight tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville.

Impact To'oTo'o tied Kamari Lassiter, Neville Hewitt and Eric Murray for most tackles on the Texans on Sunday. To'oTo'o has played at least 61 defensive snaps in three of his last four outings, and across 11 regular-season games he's logged 76 tackles (41 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass defenses (including one interception).

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pick leads to points To'oTo'o recorded six tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit in Week 10.

Impact To'oTo'o had one of five Houston interceptions on the night, two of which led to points. The linebacker's interception set up the Texans on the Lions' 36-yard line and led to a 29-yard field goal. It was the first career interception for To'oTo'o, who leads the defense with 56 tackles.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Clears concussion protocols To'oTo'o has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocols and will be available for Thursday's game against the Jets, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact To'oTo'o has missed the Texans' last two games after being diagnosed with a concussion following Houston's Week 6 win over New England. To'oTo'o has logged 46 tackles (23 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass breakup across six regular-season outings, and he'll reclaim his starting job at outside linebacker for Thursday's game, a timely return given that fellow starter Azeez Al-Shaair could be sidelined for a third straight game due to a knee injury.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Indianapolis To'oTo'o (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact To'oTo'o will miss a second straight game due to a concussion he suffered in Week 6 against the Patriots. The 2023 fifth-round pick was able to practice in full Friday, but he has not cleared the league's concussion protocols. To'oTo'o's next chance at suiting up will be Thursday, Oct. 31 against the Jets. With Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) also sidelined for Sunday's contest, the Texans will turn to Neville Hewitt and the newly acquired Devin White to start at outside linebacker while Del'Shawn Phillips serves in a rotational depth role.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return in Week 8 To'oTo'o (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

Impact To'oTo'o appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's contest, as he upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a full practice session Friday. However, the second-year linebacker must still pass through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 8. If To'oTo'o isn't able to do so, expect Devin White or Del'Shawn Phillips to see increased work with the Texans' first-team defense.
