Ahead of Saturday's preseason tilt with the Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans third-year quarterback C.J. Stroud made a decision he might soon want to forget.

C.J. Stroud found Nico Collins for a touchdown pass on his second drive Saturday in Houston's preseason win over the Carolina Panthers.

The Houston Texans will have to make difficult decisions after next Saturday's preseason game against the Lions. Thirty-seven players will be cut.

Quarterback C.J. Stroud is entering his third season in the NFL and has a new offensive coordinator. The Houston Texans fired Bobby Slowik following their loss in the Divisional Round to the Kansas City Chiefs, replacing him with Nick Caley.

The Houston Texans bid farewell to a fan favorite at wide receiver on Sunday when they traded John Metchie III to the Philadelphia Eagles. Houston now hopes a positional change will benefit their offense in 2025.

One young player in particular has been making waves for the Houston Texans so far during the team's preseason.

And in the midst of an appealing performance from this offensive line, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans gave the unit a bit of praise following the events of Saturday's win, with the one main takeaway of this Houston o-line being the togetherness showcased upfront.

The offensive line, comprised of rookie left tackle Aireontae Ersery, left guard Laken Tomlinson, center Jake Andrews, right guard Ed Ingram and right tackle Blake Fisher, with Cam Robinson and Tytus Howard sidelined, allowed just one sack. The Texans rushed for 109 yards on 28 carries and one score.
