News

  • Leads team in tackles

    Cunningham had a team-high seven tackles, one for a loss, along with a quarterback hit and a pass defensed in Sunday's 51-31 playoff loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Cunningham played every game in 2019 and led the Texans with 142 tackles during the regular season, while adding another 16 stops in the playoffs. It was the second consecutive season he ruled the defense in that category. He also had two sacks, an area of the game where the Vanderbilt product has yet to make a fantasy splash. Cunningham will return for 2020 before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2021.

  • Breaks up pass in win

    Cunningham recorded six solo tackles and broke up a pass in Saturday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The effort might be considered a disappointment for Cunningham after he had logged four double-digit tackle games in his last five entering the week. He'll have a chance to bounce back Week 17 against the Titans.

  • Another monster performance Sunday

    Cunningham recorded 14 tackles (10 solo) and 0.5 sacks across 67 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Cunningham led the Texans in tackles once again and he now has 65 tackles (45 solo) in five games since the team's bye week. He'll look to continue the hot streak next Saturday against the Buccaneers.

  • Sets career high in tackles

    Cunningham had 17 tackles (12 solo) during Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Cunningham set a career high with 16 tackles in Week 12, but he managed to eclipse that mark only two weeks later. The 24-year-old now ranks fifth in the league with 119 tackles (83 solo) and also has 1.5 sacks.

  • Incredible tackling effort

    Cunningham racked up 16 tackles (13 solo) in Thursday's 20-17 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Cunningham set a new career high in stops, as he marked double-digit tackles for the second straight game and fourth time this season. The 2017 second-round pick is five tackles away from notching a second straight campaign over 100 stops. The 24-year-old will look to reach that mark in Week 13 against the Patriots.

  • Double-digit tackles in loss

    Cunningham was credited with 11 tackles in Sunday's 41-7 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: This was the first time since Week 4 that Cunningham registered double-digit tackles. The third-year linebacker leads Houston with 79 tackles, averaging nearly eight per game.

  • Secures eight tackles Sunday

    Cunningham notched eight tackles (all solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Cunningham is now averaging just over 7.5 tackles per game through the Texans' first nine contests this season. A tough road matchup in Baltimore awaits following Houston's Week 10 bye.

  • Leads defense in tackles

    Cunningham had eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Cunningham reached double-digit tackles in two of the first four games this season but hasn't since Week 4, though he did lead the team Sunday. The 24-year-old has 61 tackles (41 solo), one sack and one fumble recovery through eight games.

    Cunningham had a team-high 14 tackles, including one for a loss, in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Panthers in Week 4.

    Analysis: Cunningham topped the Texans in tackles for the second time in three weeks while recording his second double-digit tackle effort of the season. He leads Houston with 35 stops overall.

  • Tackling machine

    Cunningham recorded 10 solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Cunningham led the team with 107 tackles last year, so an explosive outing like this is no surprise. However, he isn't known for his pass rushing skills, so a sack was a nice bonus for fantasy owners. He should continue to be deployed in IDP settings in Week 3 versus the Chargers.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Cunningham had a team-high 107 tackles (73 solo) to go along with five passes defended -- including one interception that went for a touchdown -- and two forced fumbles while playing in 14 games in 2018.

    Analysis: Cunningham built on a strong rookie season in 2017, upping his tackle total despite playing slightly fewer snaps on the year, and reaching double-digit tackles in five separate outings. He'll be entering his age-24 season in 2019 and could garner consideration in IDP formats.

  • Tallies 12 tackles Sunday

    Cunningham recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Cunningham posted double-digit tackles for the fifth time this season. On the year, he has 101 tackles (68 solo) in 13 games. He'll look to finish the regular season strong when the Texans take on the Jaguars in Week 17.

  • Totals 10 tackles

    Cunningham recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: It's been a bit of a slow go since Cunningham returned from an MCL sprain, but he seemed to be back to his old self Sunday. He finished second on the Texans in stops and recorded his fourth double-digit tackle performance of the season. He'll look to build on this strong showing Saturday against the Jets.

  • Finds paydirt against Browns

    Cunningham had two tackles (one solo), broke up two passes, and returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: The Texans drafted Cunningham in 2017 for his ability to drop back in coverage, and it paid off Sunday, when he stepped in front of a Baker Mayfield strike intended for Antonio Callaway and gave Houston a 17-0 lead in the second quarter. Since his arrival, Cunningham has made himself into a three-down linebacker and is tied for second on the team in tackles with 72.

  • Clear for Week 12 return

    Cunningham (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Tennessee.

    Analysis: Cunningham missed the last two games with the knee injury and started off this week as a limited practice participant, but faced no limitations Friday to avoid the questionable tag. The 23-year-old should resume starting duties at inside linebacker, having posted 63 tackles (47 solo) through eight games.

  • Limited to begin Week 12

    Cunningham (knee) is listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report.

    Analysis: Cunningham continues to manage his recovery from an MCL sprain sustained during a Week 8 win over the Dolphins. The 23-year-old has missed three consecutive games due to the injury, and his status for Monday's tilt against the Titans appears to be in question. If Cunningham is unable to suit up Week 12, expect Brennan Scarlett to receive a larger workload.

  • Downgraded to out

    Cunningham (knee) will not play Sunday against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Cunningham was originally considered questionable for the Week 11 contest, but now has been downgraded to out while he continues to battle an MCL sprain. The Vanderbilt product won't travel with the team and will aim to play next week against the AFC South rival Titans.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Cunningham has been sidelined since late October with the knee injury but seems to be nearing a return coming off the Texans' bye week. However, since the 23-year-old was unable to advance beyond limited practice participation this week, it seems likely that he'll miss a third straight game, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

  • Practices on a limited basis

    Cunningham (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's Practice, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Cunningham appears to have made notable progress in his recovery from a sprained MCL during Houston's bye. The second-year linebacker initially suffered his injury during a Week 8 win over the Dolphins and appears to have a real shot at suiting up for Sunday's tilt against the Redskins. The extent of Cunningham's participation in practice throughout the week will likely shed some light on his chances of returning to the field Week 11.

  • Could play Week 11

    Coach Bill O'Brien said that Cunningham (knee) is "trending toward" playing during Sunday's game against the Redskins, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Cunningham appears to be progressing well in his recovery from a sprained MCL suffered during a Week 8 win over the Dolphins. The starting linebacker appears to have a legitimate shot of suiting up against the Redskins on Sunday, and even if he remains sidelined for the contest, he appears highly likely to be ready to go Week 12.

  • Held out Sunday

    Cunningham (knee) was held out of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Marc Vandermeer of the Texans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cunningham was questionable entering Sunday's game, which was not surprising given his initial return timetable was multiple weeks. The Texans have a bye this week, which could afford Cunningham enough time to recover ahead of a Week 11 tilt against the Redskins.
