Charlie Heck: Let go by Texans
Houston released Heck (foot) on Tuesday.
Heck dealt with plantar fasciitis throughout training camp, which may have played a role in his release. The 2020 fourth-round pick spent the first four seasons of his career with the Texans and saw his playing time drop last year, as he made only three starts.

Texans' Charlie Heck: Will be sidelined multiple weeks
Heck is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his foot and is expected to be out for a few weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Heck first popped up with this issue Tuesday when he missed practice. The timeline for his return is very murky, as the receovery timeline from this injury can take anywhere from several weeks to several months depending on its severity. With Heck likely sidelined indefinitely, Blake Fisher should become the next man up behind starting offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil and Tytus Howard.

Heck was originally placed on the PUP list prior to Week 1, so he'll be available for the Texans for the first time this season in Week 13. Should anything happen to one of starting tackles Laremy Tunsil or George Fant, Heck would likely step into Houston's offensive line in their place.
