Tommy Togiai - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Bigger role down stretch Togiai registered 59 tackles (27 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses and a fumble recovery for a touchdown across 15 regular-season games for the Texans in 2025.

Impact Togiai served in a rotational role on the Texans' defensive line for the majority of the 2025 campaign, but he stepped into a starting role toward the tail end of the season due to injuries to Folorunso Fatukasi (shoulder), Tim Settle (foot) and Mario Edwards (pectoral). Togiai responded by logging at least four tackles in six of his last seven games (including in both of Houston's playoff games), highlighted by his performance in Week 14 against the Chiefs, when he recorded a season-high 10 tackles, including 1.0 sacks. The 2026 season is currently the last year that Togiai is under contract with the Texans.

Season-best tackling effort Togiai recorded 10 tackles (two solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Togiai didn't post more than five tackles in a game through the first 10 outings, but he exploded in the key AFC clash. The 2021 fourth-round pick already has a career high in defensive snaps with 301 through 11 games. He likely will be tough to depend on for fantasy purposes, though.
