Davis Mills is expected to start today vs the Vikings via @AaronWilson_NFL
C.J. Stroud’s first game action with Nick Caley will likely be next week.
The Texans signed Former Eagles DB Jalen Mills via @AdamSchefter
A very good depth option in the secondary who has dealt with some injuries so far in camp.
The Texans running behind Aireontae Ersery today via @PFF:
3 Carries
20 Yards
6.7 YPA
They averaged 4 YPC BEFORE contact on those runs.
The Texans full 10 play 74 yard touchdown drive today to open up the game:
I will go more in depth with this once All-22 drops but there is plenty to like here specifically from projected starters Aireontae Ersery & Jake Andrews.
Texans had 7 players with a 70+ PBLK Grade who had 5+ PBLK Snaps via @PFF live grading:
Austin Deculus - 87.5
Jaylon Thomas - 85.3
Eli Cox - 81.7
Woody Marks - 81.5
Jawhar Jordan - 78.8
Aireontae Ersery - 77.7
Jake Andrews - 75.0
Zero combined pressures for these 7 guys.
E.J. Speed is my Texans standout defensive player of the week!
92.1 PFF Grade (Subject to change)
2 Tackles
1 PBU
90.7 COV Grade
2 Run Stops
Speed can potentially earn some snaps this season for Houston
Demeco Ryans credits the Texans first offensive unit & specifically the OL for the play today.
Very clean operation from that unit today.
Braxton Berrios is my standout offensive player of the week!
3 Catches
33 Yards
1 TD
2 Third Down Conversions
69.6 PFF Grade
Good day for Berrios who is trying to fight his way on this roster.
The Texans lose 20-10 to the Minnesota Vikings in their first game of the 2025-2026 season.
Jake Andrews & Aireontae Ersery did a nice job in their Texans debut with the 1st team OL.
E.J. Speed and Jamal Hill stood out defensively with speed sideline to sideline.
Lot to like for Houston.
