The Texans will have two weeks to get their lineup right before their first meeting of the year arrives with a road date against Nick Caley's former squad in the Los Angeles Rams. Time will tell if Mixon will be among those names in the lineup and ready to go.

Jackson's 4-yard touchdown reception from third-string quarterback Kedon Slovis should be the nail in the coffin as the Houston Texans expand their lead to 23-7. Here's a video of the play, courtesy of the team's official social media account:

The Detroit Lions hosted the Houston Texans in Ford Field for Saturday's exhibition season finale. A largely uninspired Lions team dropped a 26-7 decision to the Texans. Here's how the two teams got to that final score.

The Texans have much less depth now, with a reliable but limited upside Christian Kirk as their No. 2 and a solid tight end in Dalton Schultz. They also have rookie Jayden Higgins as their No. 3 option in the passing game.

Since departing from Detroit, Quintez Cephus has yet to find a home. But an impressive end to the preseason could lead to Cephus finding a home in Houston.

As the roster cuts loom, a CBS Sports writer is predicting the Houston Texans could land Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler via trade.

The Texans are currently T-1st in top 50 players (50-25 currently revealed) in the NFLs Top 100 list: 25. Danielle Hunter 32. Nico Collins 39. C.J. Stroud 46. Will Anderson Jr. Only other team with 4 currently are the SB champion Eagles. pic.twitter.com/LEgxZWFUiW

That being said, Houston's offensive line is still viewed as a major area of weakness for the team heading into 2025, as evidenced by the fact that quarterback C.J. Stroud was sacked 52 times in 2024. That certainly played a significant role in his sophomore slump.
