The Houston Texans open the 2022 NFL regular season against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 11 at NRG Stadium.
There weren't many intriguing camp battles for the Texans, as they're a rebuilding team trying to move forward after trading quarterback Deshaun Watson this offseason.
The Texans were able to use assets from that trade to add up-and-coming young talent to the roster to mix with veterans on both sides of the ball. But the defense will be the catalyst of the Texans, led by defensive end Jonathan Greenard, second-round pick Jalen Pitre at safety and No. 3 overall pick Derek Stingley Jr. at cornerback.
Coach Lovie Smith also was promoted from associate head coach and defensive coordinator after the Texans moved on from David Culley this offseason.
The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Here is a projection:
QUARTERBACK (2): Davis Mills, Kyle Allen
