The Houston Texans are challenged with their tackle depth, and a key part of the issue is Charlie Heck.
The former 2020 fourth-rounder has been on the physically unable to perform list throughout training camp, and the Texans have had to look outside the organization for solutions, particularly with right tackle Tytus Howard working back from a fractured left hand.
General manager Nick Caserio told reporters Aug. 30 that they are working through the information as it relates to Heck.
“I think as we go, as we get more information, I think we’ll be able to make more of a determination about what their availability is going to be,” Caserio said. “And I’d say, even though they’re similar, each case is probably a little bit different. Tytus is definitely closer it appears. Charlie is probably a little bit further, so we’ll kind of just have to work through that.”
Here is a timeline over the next 12 weeks that encapsulates Heck and his stay on the PUP list.
