It's easy to overreact once hitting the OTAs period of the NFL calendar. Teams are taking the field with their newly constructed rosters from a busy offseason.
The NFL world was shaken up with one of the biggest blockbuster trades in recent memory earlier this week when the LA Rams pushed their chips in for future Hall of Fame edge rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Jared Verse and some steep draft compensation.
The Houston Texans were one of the most active traders around the board in this year's NFL Draft. In round one, they traded up to select their eventual top pick in Keylan Rutledge.
It's been around a year and a half since the Houston Texans last saw Tank Dell on an NFL field. Following his devastating leg injury at the end of the 2024 season against the Kansas City Chiefs––resulting in a torn ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus––Dell has since been forced to the sidelines.
The Houston Texans head into this NFL season with some of the highest expectations they've seen in recent history, and most definitely so in terms of the timeframe that head coach DeMeco Ryans has arrived on the scene back in 2023.
Yardbarker's best-of NFL positional series continues with linebackers. This does not cover pure pass-rushing threats -- we will get to them -- but rather true off-ball defenders who thrived as traditional inside and outside 'backers.
The Houston Texans have already seen a fair share of standouts throughout their offseason training program just a few days into their OTA practices. Last week, it was Texans' All-Pro Will Anderson Jr.
The Houston Texans announced they have signed UDFA OT Derrick Graham out of Tulane. It’s worth noting Graham played for Houston OL coach Cole Popovich at Troy.

The Houston Texans' offensive line competition has just gotten a tad more interesting. That's because the Texans have just added another offensive line off the free agent market to add to their 90-man roster.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Giants are signing veteran WR Braxton Berrios to a one-year deal. Berrios, 30, was a sixth-round pick by the Patriots out of Miami in 2018.
