Brandon Hill, a safety for the Texans, was placed on injured reserve after suffering a significant knee injury during the team's final preseason game. His injury has sidelined him for the season, preventing a return to the field.

Brandon Hill has been placed on season-ending injured reserve and can only return this season if waived with an injury settlement.

Brandon Hill's season is over before it began after suffering a knee injury during the preseason finale against the Rams. The 24-year-old defensive back was helped off the field in the first half and will miss the entire year. Drafted in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft from Pitt, Hill had a decent training camp and previously played in two games last season. His injury could create a roster spot for another defensive back as the Texans approach the deadline to finalize their 53-man roster.
