The Texans are expected to waive fourth-year offensive tackle David Quessenberry, head coach Bill O’Brien said Monday.
“We believed that David Quessenberry wasn’t going to be ready, from a health standpoint, to adequately compete this year,” O’Brien said. “So procedurally, in order to gain the roster spot, we made the decision to place him on waivers with the designation of NFI, non-football illness.”
The move comes during the second week of OTA practices, two years after Quessenberry was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Quessenberry had been working his way back to the practice field, but had not been cleared to practice since that June 2014 diagnosis.
