Lands on Injured Reserve To'oTo'o (shoulder) was placed on the Injured Reserve list Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact To'oTo'o suffered a shoulder injury late in Sunday's 36-31 loss to Buffalo. He will now miss a minimum of four games, meaning he is not eligible to return until at least the Week 6 clash with the Jaguars. While To'oTo'o is sidelined, Jake Hansen is projected to receive more snaps.

Might have to go on IR To'oTo'o might end up on injured reserve after hurting his shoulder during Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Suffers shoulder injury in loss To'oTo'o (shoulder) was seen in a sling after Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact To'oTo'o suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss. The linebacker was seen after the contest in a sling but it is unclear how severe the issue truly is.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

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.
