Johnston, 32, has been the Texans’ punter since 2018. This past season he finished with 47.7 yards per punt and 30 punts inside the 20-yard line. Those numbers ranked 14th and seventh among his peers in 2023.

With Johnston gone, the Texans will need to find a new punter for Frank Ross’ top-rated group from a year ago. If Houston wants to sign someone in free agency, the best available punters are Rigoberto Sanchez, Tommy Townsend or Corey Bojorquez.
