The Houston Texans have a lot of talent on their roster; some of which hasn't been discussed enough as it should be. However, with training camp now on
The Houston Texans have a few position battles that they'll be sorting through across the next few weeks of training camp. A few of those battles will be a bit more undetermined heading into camp than others.
Joe Mixon’s told his buddies the NFL career’s done. This bombshell landed after a mysterious absence that left teams scratching their heads. He missed the entire 2024 season with what everyone calls an apparent leg injury.
For much of the Houston Texans' offseason, a ton of conversation has been focused on what's next for C.J. Stroud; whether or not he'll be getting an extension either this offseason or next, and even talks of whether or not he truly is the franchise guy under center for this roster.
How many of the players to lead the NFL in yards-per-reception since 2000 can you name in five minutes?
Following most of the Houston Texans' work to their roster in the offseason, there's been one lingering need that many have circled as an area the front office could (or should) prioritize in the weeks ahead: and that's their defensive end depth.
Be it stars returning from late-season injuries to starter-level players who missed most or all of last season, the NFL features a host of rehab odysseys to follow as training camps near.
The 2026 Houston Texans have a little different look than last season, with an emphasis on their offense. Despite a 12-5 season last year, the team is hoping for more than a divisional loss to end the season.
Joe Mixon missed all of 2025 and requested a release from the Texans this spring. The veteran running back has remained on the open market since then, but he is unlikely to return to the NFL.
The 2025 NFL season didn't go as smoothly as hoped for some proven players. These players are the top candidates on their respective teams to bounce back this season.
Earlier this offseason, it was reported the Chiefs, Broncos and Steelers were monitoring free agent RB Joe Mixon, who missed the entire 2025 season with lower body injuries.
Stroud is entering a crucial season.
The Houston Texans reshaped their defensive line depth just a bit throughout this past offseason. One of those decisions to change up the outlook on their defensive front centered around letting go of two veterans from last year's roster: Derek Barnett, as well as Denico Autry, who is expected to retire after 12 years in the NFL.
The Houston Texans' training camp will be filled with several critical storylines surrounding how several starting competitions and roster battles will take place, and who might be the ones to win those.

The Houston Texans continue to stay busy bringing in various free agents for workouts ahead of training camp. And while to this point, many of those workouts have been centered around names on the defensive side of the ball, their most recent happens to be a veteran wide receiver.
Denico Autry is likely calling it a career. The free agent veteran lineman is expected to retire, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston (and via Charean Williams of ProFootballTalk.com).
The Houston Texans made the AFC Divisional Round last year on the back of their defense. CJ Stroud was dreadful in the Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they won anyway.
The Houston Texans' rookie class has officially arrived to training camp this week after a long wait following the end of their offseason program. They'll have about a week or so ahead on the veterans to get adjusted before things officially get rolling once everyone's in the building on July 29th.
Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC, free agent DL Denico Autry is expected to retire. The longtime veteran who was most recently with the Texans hasn’t made any official announcements yet.
Jaguars HC Liam Coen had a heck of a debut season in Jacksonville, winning 13 games and the AFC South. One of the things that drew team brass to him during the interview process was his “Three Better/Three Best” philosophy of development.

It's make or break time for the Detroit Lions, head coach Dan Campbell included.
Houston Texans co-founder and senior chair Janice McNair died on Tuesday at age 89, the team announced. McNair co-founded the expansion team with her late husband, Bob McNair, in 2002 after the Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee after the 1996 season and later became the Titans.
