Byron Cowart News
The Houston Texans signed veteran free-agent defensive tackle Byron Cowart to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to a source. Cowart signed a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs in March but was released on May 10. The 26-year-old quickly latches on with the Texans. He spent the 2022 season with the Indianapolis Colts, playing in 17 games (zero starts) and recording only 12 tackles (four solo). In three NFL seasons, Cowart has 41 tackles (19 solo), a sack, five tackles for loss and one pass defensed in 36 games (14 starts). He was originally a fifth-round selection in 2019 by the New England Patriots out of Maryland. At best, Cowart will have a rotational role on Houston's defensive line if he makes the team.
The Kansas City Chiefs cut defensive tackle Byron Cowart on Wednesday. Cowart agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Chiefs in March, but he won't even make it to training camp with the team before going back on the open market. Cowart was originally a fifth-round selection in 2019 by the New England Patriots out of Maryland. He spent the first two seasons of his career with the Patriots before playing in 17 games (zero starts) for the Indianapolis Colts last year. The 26-year-old finished 2022 with only 12 tackles (four solo) with the Colts. Cowart will now look to latch on with another organization for the 2023 campaign.
Defensive tackle Byron Cowart was claimed off waivers by the Colts on Saturday, a day after the Patriots waived him. The 26-year-old was selected by New England in 2019 and has totaled 29 tackles (15 solo) and one sack throughout 19 games. He began on the reserve/PUP list last season but never saw the field in 2021. Nonetheless, even if Cowart impresses during training camp, he probably won't earn consistent work in 2022-23, at least enough to make a difference on the fantasy end.
