Braden Smith

Braden Smith is on track to be ready for training camp.

Fantasy Impact

Smith has outpaced his original rehab schedule after offseason neck surgery. He is expected to be eased back into practices.

The Texans signed No. 26 overall pick OG Keylan Rutledge to a four-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

The deal is worth $19.276 million and includes a $10.479 million signing bonus. Rutledge will make an immediate impact on the offensive line for Houston.

Braden Smith has agreed to a 2-year, $20 million contract with the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Smith started 13 games for the Colts last year, allowing just a single sack all season. He should be a solid addition to the Texans offensive line lacking in talent after they shipped off several linemen in trades this offseason.

Braden Smith (concussion/neck) was sidelined at practice again on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Smith was sidelined for another practice on Thursday as he continues to recover from a concussion and from a neck issue. It looks likely that he will be sidelined in Week 16, which is less than ideal for Indianapolis' offense as a whole in a matchup against the Seahawks.

Braden Smith (neck/concussion) missed Indianapolis' practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Smith was recently placed in the NFL's concussion protocols and was not able to practice on Wednesday as a result. He seems likely to be sidelined in Week 15, which would be less than ideal for Indianapolis' offense ahead of a tough matchup against Seattle's red-hot defense.
