Houston Texans
Houston Texans Training Camp kicks off July 21st at the Houston Methodist Training Center. The 25th season will bring with it as much anticipation as any with a veteran roster looking to break through in the playoffs. The combination of new faces and ascending stars gives the team a depth.
That depth brings competition that will play out over the next few weeks of training camp. The 90-man roster is all but
The combatants: Jake Andrews, Keylan Rutledge, Evan Brown, Febechi Nwaiwu, Jarrett Patterson
General Manager Nick Caserio is approaching the center position like a...

We get to the last in the series of the look at the hot seat. In the last two editions we looked at C.J. Stroud and Nick Caley. The next guy is a little higher on the ladder. When we look at the power structure of the Texans we know that no one is currently on the hot seat. You don’t get on the hot seat after going to the playoffs three years in a row. However, we know that things sometimes go sideways and when they go sideways there is always someone to blame.

Anyone who watched the 2025 Houston Texans offense knows then-rookie offensive coordinator Nick Caley was driving the struggle bus into the bar ditch early and often. While bumping along the runway is an expectation of a first time coordinator, Caley’s press conferences didn’t do much to endear him to a fanbase that needed reassuring. Instead of owning the learning curve, Caley’s responses often seem as if he bristled at the very notion that anything could or was his fault.
But, he has to own the “worst red zone offense in football” label his system earned the 2025 Texans.
Thankfully, this...

The Texans have an above-average tight end in Dalton Schultz. Schultz is a dependable player who consistently makes clutch plays and serves as a reliable safety blanket for quarterback C.J. Stroud.
He is clearly the best tight end on the roster, but the biggest issue last season was the lack of production behind him. The answer to that problem could very well be Marlin Klein, whom Houston drafted in the second round. Klein is a massive target with the ability to make plays whenever he’s on the field. He has recently been dealing with a minor hamstring injury, but it...

Roster underdogs are players who are on the outside looking in to make the Houston Texans 53 man roster come August. Some of the players will be fairly familiar names, but they are currently facing an uphill battle to make the team. As with last year, there will be players who surprise and players who fizzle out.
2025 Underdogs:
With that, let’s get into who are several of the key underdogs vying for the last few...

Last week we took a look at C.J. Stroud and a look at the hot seat. Obviously, that begs the next obvious question: who else on offense is on the hot seat? The Texans defense ranked first or second in almost every major defensive category. If it weren’t for them throwing in the towel in week 18, they would have been first in yards and point surrendered. So, obviously the defense is nowhere near the hot seat. So, that leaves the entire offense. The entire offense is under the control of one man: Nick Caley.
Caley was given a few...

The notion that no matter how good a wide receiver is, they won’t succeed without a solid quarterback arose during an engaging chat with a new friend yesterday. Not only is that thought intrinsic to the sport of football, it’s a great predictor of future success. Flip it around and you’ll quickly understand that Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud can put in all.the.work, but if he has no one to play catch with, it’s wasted effort.
Thankfully, the Texans have a fairly stacked receiver corps rolling into the 2026 season. Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Tank Dell, Jaylin Noel and Xavier...
