Playing Sunday Houston (groin) is active Sunday against the Browns.
Impact Houston hasn't played since Week 3 with the injury. His return will be a definite boost to the team's linebacker corps against Cleveland.

Limited in practice Wednesday Houston (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Ravens' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Houston has not practiced or played since picking up a groin injury during Baltimore's Week 3 win over New England. However, the 33-year-old seems to be nearing a return after working his way back into practice Wednesday. Houston tallied six tackles and two sacks over three starts to begin the season, and his return would be a major boost for the Ravens' severely under-manned outside linebacker corps. The veteran will have two more practices to increase his activity before Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Unavailable for Week 6 Houston (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact Houston will miss a third game in a row after straining his groin in the Ravens' Week 3 win over the Patriots. In his absence, Odafe Oweh and Jason Pierre-Paul will operate as the top edge rushing options for Baltimore in New York.

Absent from practice Wednesday Houston (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.
Impact According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Houston may be able to return for Week 6, but his absence from practice Wednesday puts a damper on that estimation. Unless the veteran returns to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely sit out another week, leaving Odafe Oweh, Jason Pierre-Paul and A.J. Klein as Baltimore's only healthy edge rushers.

Eyeing Week 6 return Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Houston (groin) may be able to return for Sunday's game at the Giants, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Impact Houston has missed Baltimore's last two games with a groin injury, though it seems he might not need to miss any more game action. Until he's ready to play again, Odafe Oweh, Jason Pierre-Paul and A.J. Klein are the Ravens' only healthy edge rushers on the active roster.
OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Week 5 Houston (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Bengals.
Impact Houston will miss a second straight game after picking up the groin injury during the team's Week 3 win over the Patriots. The Ravens' outside linebacker corps remains banged up, leaving Odafe Oweh, Jason Pierre-Paul and A.J. Klein as the only healthy options heading into Week 5.

Does not practice Houston (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Impact Houston suffered the injury in the Week 3 win over the Patriots, and he was absent from the team's Week 4 loss to the Bills. He'll work to ramp up his participation throughout the week in an attempt to be ready for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.
OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out Houston (groin) will not play Sunday against the Bills.
Impact Houston was considered doubtful heading into the weekend, so his inability to suit up doesn't come as a surprise. Brandon Copeland will likely continue to see extra opportunity Sunday against the Bills.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful for Week 4 Houston (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus Buffalo.
Impact Houston left with a groin injury during the first half of Baltimore's victory at New England in Week 3, and it now appears he'll probably have to sit out at least one week before he's able to play again. His absence Sunday would leave Odafe Oweh and Jason Pierre-Paul as the Ravens' only two natural edge rushers available to try to thwart an electric Bills passing attack.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Houston (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Houston left the team's Week 3 win over the Patriots early and never returned. His absence from practice Wednesday doesn't bode well for his Week 4 availability, but he'll have two more chances to at least upgrade to limited participation before the Ravens' have to make a decision on his status. The veteran pass rusher had a sack in each of the first two games of the season, so his potential absence would be a big blow to Baltimore's defense.

Won't return Sunday Houston (groin) is ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Houston exited with a groin injury sustained in the first half against New England, and this issue will be significant enough to keep him sidelined. Baltimore's outside linebacker corps was already significantly undermanned, so the veteran's potential absence would be a significant blow moving forward. Houston recorded two sacks during Weeks 1 and 2, and his next chance to play will come Oct. 2 against the dangerous Bills offense.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Forced out Sunday Houston (groin) is questionable to return against the Patriots on Sunday.
Impact Houston exited after sustaining a groin injury during the first half against New England, leaving the Ravens' already depleted outside linebacker corps even more shorthanded. With Tyus Bowser (Achilles) and David Ojabo (Achilles) both still out, expect recent acquisitions Jason Pierre-Paul and Brandon Copeland to see increased usage Sunday.

Re-signing with Baltimore Houston agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Ravens on Thursday.
Impact Houston presumably will stick with Baltimore for at least one more year once he officially re-signs this agreed-upon contract. The 33-year-old pass rusher recorded 34 tackles and 4.5 sacks over 15 starts during his first season with Baltimore in 2021. Houston no longer is the annual Pro Bowl-caliber defender that he was during the prime of his career, but he again will provide a valuable veteran presence alongside young linebackers Tyus Bowser (Achilles), Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo (Achilles).

Activated off COVID-19 list Houston was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
Impact Houston missed just one game during his stint on the COVID-19 list and is expected to return in Week 17. The veteran pass rusher leads the Ravens in quarterback hits (17) and sacks (4.5), so his potential presence will be welcomed as Baltimore prepares for Matthew Stafford and the Rams' potent passing attack.

Placed on COVID-19 list Houston (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Impact Houston is third on the team in sacks, so his potential absence would be a significant blow to an already depleted defense. If Houston isn't able to clear protocols ahead of Week 16, then Odafe Oweh and Jaylon Ferguson would be the most likely candidates to see increased snaps.
