C.J. Gardner-Johnson did NOT tear his ACL via @jonmalexander.
He is still undergoing testing and will miss time however.
Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr. has won AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
This is his 3rd time winning the award in his career.
C.J. Stroud Mic’d Up on their drive to seal their win vs the Raiders.
Before the 3rd & 8:
“Are we throwing it?” - C.J. Stroud to Nick Caley
“Yeah” - Nick Caley
C.J. Stroud to Devin White after the game winner to Nico:
“That’s a dime boy that’s a dot”
C.J. Stroud Mic’d Up vs the Raiders:
“12 down there somewhere”
Going through some of the Texans playoff simulators IF the Texans can win out & get to 12-5 they are guaranteed a top 6 seed in the AFC and the top WC spot if the Bills lose a game in that stretch.
In that case these are the most likely WC round games for Houston:
Texans @ Jaguars
Texans @ Steelers
Chargers vs Texans
Now if they don’t win out this obviously changes but this is so we have a idea of what we could see come WC round.
The Texans have made the following moves to their practice squad:
Signed:
LB Power Echols
DT Leki Fotu
S Kaevon Merriweather
Released:
CB Damon Arnette
DT Marcus Harris
S Brandon Hill
