Kenyon Green, 2022's 15th pick, was traded from Houston to Philadelphia in March for C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a 2026 sixth-round pick. Five months later, Philadelphia waives Green as teams trim to 53. The move signals a shift in the guard depth and keeps the Gardner-Johnson storyline central to the Texans-Eagles swap.

Green's NFL arc has been rocky: injury-limited years, a shoulder setback, and a rookie-season starter role followed by struggles. Gardner-Johnson, healthy, looms as a starter for Philadelphia if he returns, while the Texans chase value from the deal. For fantasy, Green's waiver adds risk, and Gardner-Johnson's health becomes the clearer factor to monitor for the defense.

Watch rosters closely after cutdown: Eagles must fill interior-line depth, Texans assess the deal's ceiling, and fantasy managers balance risk with possible late-season opportunities tied to health and depth charts.
