Consistent Offensive Line, Linebacker Room Are Areas Of Concern For Texans

Stan Norfleet of Next Up breaks down the Houston Texans roster ahead of a joint practice and final preseason matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Texans have strengthened every position group in the offseason, and on paper, the offensive line leads the way with four-time Pro Bowler Laremy Tunsil and veteran Tytus Howard. However, many remain cautious when discussing the potential of the offensive line due to the extensive injuries of past seasons. Pro Football Focus ranks the Texans offensive line at No. 22 entering the 2024 season.

The addition of Azeez Al-Shaair to the linebacker core has given the Texans defense a strong leader, but with Christian Harris dealing with a calf injury most of minicamp, there is not much starter experience left in the position group. Will Henry To'oTo'o, Jake Hansen and Neville Hewitt be enough to support Al-Shaair and the rest of the Texans defense?
