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

Back in action in Week 6 To'oTo'o (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Impact The 25-year-old linebacker had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday's contest, but after being activated from injured reserve Saturday, the writing was on the wall for him to suit up in London. To'oTo'o will be suiting up for the first time since the Texans' Week 1 loss to the Bills, when he exited in the fourth quarter after injuring his shoulder.

Activated from injured reserve The Texans activated To'oTo'o (shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The linebacker was designated for return earlier in the week after missing the minimum four games required on injured reserve. To'oTo'o logged 51 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Bills, recording two tackles (one solo) before suffering his injury. He remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Manages full practice Thursday To'oTo'o (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Impact To'oTo'o has been on IR for the Texans' last four games after sustaining a shoulder injury back in Week 1 versus the Bills, but it now seems like he's close to being back to full strength. He still needs to be officially activated from Houston's injured reserve list before he'll be able to return to game action.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return from injured reserve To'oTo'o (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday.

Impact To'oTo'o has missed the Texans' last four games while sitting on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. He will now have 21 days to be activated and added back to the 53-man roster or he will be forced to miss the remainder of the 2026 campaign.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss more than four games To'oTo'o (shoulder) is expected to miss more than four games, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact To'oTo'o landed on injured reserve Tuesday, keeping him off the field for at least four games. However, according to Garafolo, the 25-year-old is expected to be out "longer," possibly missing up to eight weeks. To'oTo'o finished the 2025 campaign by amassing 95 total tackles and 2.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that the team was still deciding on To'oTo'o's status. The linebacker was seen wearing a sling after the game. To'oTo'o suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter after playing 46 snaps.

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.

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.

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.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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
