Tommy Togiai learned his active roster status via social media after Texans roster cuts, confirming a climb from the practice squad to game-ready duty. He appeared in three games, serving as a rotational interior presence and depth on Houston's defensive line, even into the postseason.

Houston leaders backed him publicly: DeMeco Ryans praised Togiai as NFL football material with the right mindset who seized opportunities, while Nick Caserio highlighted his work ethic and attitude. Togiai’s rise illustrates how camp performance and steady grind can convert a practice-squad path into meaningful roster time, signaling possible interior depth for Week 1 and beyond.
