Jerry Hughes Fantasy

Free-agent defensive end Jerry Hughes signed an undisclosed deal with the Houston Texans on Tuesday, according to a source. Hughes has missed just one game in the last decade while recording two double-digit sack seasons and 82 tackles for loss in his career. He will also be returning home as a Houston native who starred at TCU in college. The 33-year-old veteran pass-rusher was originally the 31st overall pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2010. He spent the first three years of his career with the Colts before spending the next nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills. Hughes hasn't had a double-digit sack season since 2014, and he had just 18 tackles (eight solo), seven QB hits and two sacks in 17 games for Buffalo in 2021.

Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes (groin, wrist), who has never missed a game with the Bills since joining the team in 2013, is on track in his recovery from multiple offseason surgeries. Everything seems to be on track, going along well with my rehab. Im still able to go to the facility four times a week, so Im just moving along quite well, Hughes said. Battling through his injuries in 2019, Hughes' numbers suffered with just 23 tackles (14 solo), six tackles for loss, nine QB hits and 4.5 sacks. The 31-year-old hasn't had double-digit sacks since 2014 with Buffalo, but he's a veteran presence and a tough grinder on the defensive line in what has become a very solid Bills Defense.

Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes (wrist) had surgery to fix torn ligaments in his wrist. Hughes revealed the injury after the playoff loss to the Texans in the wild-card round, and the league launched an investigation as to whether the Bills had violated the injury reporting policy since Hughes never appeared on the team's injury report with a wrist injury. Despite his wrist injury, Hughes didn't miss a game in 2019 and hasn't missed a single game since 2012. He recorded 23 total tackles (14 solo), 4.5 sacks and one fumble recovery for Buffalo's stout defense last season. Hughes should be recovered in time for training camp this summer.
