Although tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz was placed on injured reserve after suffering his third concussion of the year, the Texans do expect him to return for next season.
The Texans signed Fiedorowicz to a three-year, $21.5 million contract prior to the season that included $10 million guaranteed.
Fiedorowicz missed eight games earlier this season with a concussion and was later activated from injured reserve-designated to return. He finished the season with 14 catches for 127 yards.
"There’s been no discussion with him yet," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "I think in these situations you have to let the player kind of first of all, get back to where he’s feeling normal.
