While it's only an unofficial depth chart that's very subject to change, the initial list gives a first look at what the plans might be for this team's starting lineup entering the year–– perhaps most notably on the offensive line that's been the center of conversation for the Texans across this offseason.

To start, the Texans will have veteran Cam Robinson and rookie Aireontae Ersery manning the tackle spots, while Laken Tomlinson, Jarrett Patterson, and Tytus Howard fill in the inside. It's the same five-man group Houston has approached their training camp with, so no real surprises on that front, but it will certainly be an interesting factor to watch unfold for Houston's first exhibition contest of the season.

Kickoff between the Texans and Vikings lands on 4 PM MT on August 9th.
