Injury & Status History
A running log of this player's status changes — each entry links to the original source.
Braden Smith — Active
Smith has missed the first five games of the season because of a foot injury he suffered during a practice back in August, but he's now in line to return to action in Week 6. He projects to start at right tackle against the Jaguars in London.
Braden Smith — Injured Reserve
Smith initially drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC South tilt, but he's not quite fully recovered from a foot injury that caused him to start the regular season on injured reserve. His next chance to play is Week 6 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Braden Smith — Injured Reserve
The Texans designated Smith to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening the 21-day window for him to be activated to the 53-man roster. He likely has some hurdles to clear before getting the green light to suit up in Week 5 against the Titans. However, Smith appears to be trending favorably toward playing Sunday after spending the first four games of the 2026 season on injured reserve.
Braden Smith — Injured Reserve
Smith opened the regular season on IR due to a torn plantar fascia, a diagnosis that came with a four- to six-week recovery timeline. Now that he's been designated to return, Smith will have 21 days to be activated from IR, otherwise he would be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season. The 2018 second-rounder was limited in Wednesday's practice.
