Tim Settle - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready for training camp Settle (foot) is healthy for the start of Washington's training camp, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Impact Settle is finally recovered from the foot surgery he underwent in December 2025. The 29-year-old signed a three-year contract extension with the Commanders in March and is expected to serve as one of the team's starting defensive ends once again during the upcoming campaign.

Reuniting with Washington Settle and the Commanders agreed to a three-year contract worth up to $25.5 million Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Settle will reunite with Washington, where he spent the first four years of his NFL career with after being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The Virginia Tech product spent the last two years in Houston and enjoyed a productive 2024 campaign, but his 2025 season was cut short in early December by a foot injury that required season-ending surgery. Settle will join Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw on the Commanders' defensive line while flanked by edge rushers Odafe Oweh and Dorance Armstrong (knee).

Placed on IR, as expected Settle (foot) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact It was reported earlier Thursday that Settle is slated to undergo season-ending foot surgery, so his placement on IR was inevitable. The veteran defensive tackle will conclude the campaign with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed over 12 games. Settle consistently logged a defensive snap share of around 50 percent prior to being sidelined, so his loss is significant for the Texans' defense.

Season-ending surgery Settle (foot) is set to undergo season-ending foot surgery, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Thursday.

Impact Settle will end the 2025 season with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed through 12 games. The starting defensive tackle will be a significant loss to a dominant Texans defense. With Settle absent, Tommy Togiai is in line to see significantly more defensive snaps for the remainder of the season.

Career year in 2024 Settle finished the 2024 regular season with 31 total tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding a fumble recovery across 17 games.

Impact Settle signed a two-year contract with the Texans in March, which turned out to be a good deal for Houston. The defensive tackle secured a career-high 31 total takedowns while matching a career-best 5.0 sacks in 2024. Settle will enter the 2025 campaign with some momentum ahead of a contract year with Houston.

Good to go Thursday night Settle (calf) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Tuesday.

Impact Settle tweaked his calf during Sunday's loss to the Packers, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice without limitations Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, the 2018 fifth-round pick should be able to suit up against the Jets on Thursday night. Settle is on a two-game sack streak, and through the first eight games of the regular season he has accumulated 14 tackles (13 solo), including 4.0 sacks.

Dealing with calf injury Settle injured his calf in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Indianapolis and is questionable to return.

Impact Settle had a good game going prior to getting hurt, notching a team-high three tackles, including 1.0 sacks. The defensive tackle has maintained a steady workload throughout the campaign, logging over half of the Texans' defensive snaps every week since Week 3. Kurt Hinish could be called upon to absorb Settle's snaps if the latter isn't able to return following halftime.

Will return against Dolphins Settle (calf) is active Week 3 against Miami.

Impact Settle will not only return after a week of limited practices, but he could see a much larger role given the absence of both Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring). The fifth-year DT made just one tackle in 28 snaps in Week 1, so while he probably won't be on the average IDP radar, the Buffalo defensive front will be counting on him to keep up its early-season momentum.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 3 return Settle (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Impact Settle missed the Bills' Week 2 victory but logged three limited practices leading up to the showdown in Miami. With both Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring) ruled out, Settle could have a big role along the defensive line if he is cleared to play.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back to work after missing Week 2 Settle (calf) has been able to practice on a limited basis the past two days.

Impact Settle missed the Week 2 win over Tennessee after making a one-tackle debut for the Bills in Week 1, a game where he saw 42 percent of the defensive snaps. He's a depth guy for now, but with the defense so banged up heading into an important divisional game, any healthy body that can provide capable play will go a long way.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Settle (calf) is out Monday against the Titans, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Settle logged a limited practice Saturday, but the five-year-pro still isn't ready to take the field. With Ed Oliver (ankle) also ruled out, the middle of the Bills' defensive line will be thinner than you would hope for against Derrick Henry. Settle will work to be ready for Week 3 against the Dolphins.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as doubtful for Week 2 Settle (calf) is doubtful for Monday's contest against the Titans.

Impact Settle didn't practice Thursday or Friday but returned in a limited fashion Saturday. However, he's still unlikely to suit up Monday. With Ed Oliver (ankle) already ruled out, the Bills may be a bit thin at defensive tackle for their matchup with Derrick Henry.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Wednesday's session Settle (undisclosed) did not practice Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Whatever is ailing Settle, he'll have an extra day to get better since the Bills don't square off against the Titans until Monday. The free-agent signee played 42 percent of the defensive snaps in the team's opener, posting one tackle.
