Texans' Will Anderson: Double-digit sacks in 2025
Anderson registered 54 tackles, 12.0 sacks, and a touchdown over 17 regular-season games in 2025. He added three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Anderson established a new career high in sacks and recorded a second consecutive season with double-digit sacks. He and Danielle Hunter (15.0 sacks) at the opposite end of the defensive line were a lot for offensive lines and a big part of the Texans' top-ranked defense. Anderson's touchdown, his first in the NFL, came when he strip-sacked Seattle's Sam Darnold in the end zone and pounced on the ball during a Week 7 loss to the Seahawks. The edge rusher is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

It pushed him up to 11.5 sacks on the campaign, surpassing his previous regular-season career high of 11.0 sacks, which he established last year. Anderson had gone a season-high three games without a sack prior to taking down Geno Smith in the backfield Sunday.

Texans' Will Anderson: Cleared to play vs. Kansas City
Anderson (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Anderson produced a DNP-LP-FP practice log during Week 14 prep and has progressed enough in his recovery from a chest injury to fade an injury tag for Sunday's contest. The third-year pass rusher has accumulated 40 tackles (25 solo), including 10.5 sacks, three pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries through 12 regular-season games.

Texans' Will Anderson: Limited in practice
Anderson (chest) was limited in practice Thursday.
Anderson appeared on the injury report last Thursday with a chest injury. However, it did not seem to impact his snap count in Week 13 versus the Colts. The 24-year-old's limited participation in practice Thursday is a positive sign for his availability in Sunday night's matchup against Kansas City. The third-year pro has 40 tackles (25 solo), including 10.5 sacks, and three pass breakups in 12 games this season.
