The Texans are expected to lose before the AFC Championship Game. The many USC Trojans on the Houston roster can change the conventional wisdom

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.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans had some high praise for his rookie running back after Saturday’s preseason game against the Panthers. Woody Marks, a fourth-round pick out of USC, only had three carries in the team’s first preseason match against the Vikings.

When they lost starter C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a knee injury that has him sidelined indefinitely and not for the entire season, they made the move to sign Mills. Plus, rookie safety Jaylen Reed is recovering from a mild knee sprain, per sources.

Texans RB Nick Chubb is rounding back into form as the four-time Pro Bowler hit holes and pushed piles in Houston’s preseason win over the Carolina Panthers.

For the Houston Texans, there's a handful of names to pick from when it comes to impressive camp standouts, but one that's caught notable attention from both head coach DeMeco Ryans and quarterback C.

Competing against the Texans’ defense should provide a boost for the offensive line, because few groups will have bookend pass rushers the caliber of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter.
