Not playing Week 8

Gets traded to Chargers
Houston traded Deculus to the Chargers on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick, Omar Navarro of the Chargers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After regular starting left tackle Rashawn Slater went to the injured reserve list with a season-ending kneecap injury earlier in camp, it makes some sense for the Chargers to exchange a bit of draft capital to beef up their depth at offensive tackle. Deculus profiles as an experienced swing backup at that position for 2025.

Set for another absence

Sitting Sunday
Deculus (ankle) is out Sunday against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Deculus was unable to practice all week after missing Sunday's loss to the Bears. It was reported last Friday by Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com that he was out indefinitely, so his inability to suit up in Week 4 should not come as a surprise. However, his ability to avoid IR so far could be a sign he may be ready to return in Week 5 against the Jaguars.

Out indefinitely
Deculus (ankle) is out indefinitely, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Wilson, the rookie suffered the ankle injury during a recent practice. While the extent of the issue remains unclear, it sounds like Deculus will miss more than just Week 3, so Houston may elect to put him on injured reserve.

Steady tackle heads to Houston
The Texans selected Deculus in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 205th overall.
ANALYSIS
Deculus stands out as an experienced right tackle after starting for four seasons at LSU against SEC competition. He has long arms and solid/modest athleticism, so he should be a reliable backup at the next level.
