NFL Rumors: Zach Cunningham Placed on Waivers by Texans

Zach Cunningham's tenure with the Houston Texans has reportedly ended.

Per John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the fifth-year linebacker will be placed on waivers on Wednesday.

The move comes 15 months after the Texans signed Cunningham to a four-year, $58 million contract extension in August 2020.
