Texans vs Giants team news

Houston Texans team news

While other teams just kicked off their NFL preseason last weekend, the Houston Texans feel like they’ve already been in preseason mode for a couple of weeks. Houston had the advantage of playing an additional exhibition game when they faced the Chicago Bears in the NFL Hall of Fame Game on August 1.

Although the star players didn’t participate in that matchup, fans got a chance to see many of the key players in action during their second game against the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend.

C.J. Stroud and Tank Dell continued their strong connection from 2023, linking up for a 34-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The backups, in particular DT Mario Edwards Jr, TE Cade Stover and WR Robert Woods, also had a good showing, contributing 13 of the Texans’ 20 points. This included a four-yard touchdown run by Dare Ogunbowale.

New York Giants team news

Daniel Jones is set to start at quarterback for the Giants. He didn’t feature in the preseason opener, but he’s expected to get some playing time here after being cleared following ACL surgery last November.

With Drew Lock sidelined for this game due to a hip injury suffered against the Lions, Tommy DeVito will step into the backup quarterback spot. Head coach Brian Daboll has confirmed that the team won’t be bringing in another quarterback, so tight end Tyrie Jackson will serve as the emergency third QB for this game.

Devin Singletary will lead the backfield, though it’s uncertain how much action he’ll see. Tyrone Tracy Jr. is out with an ankle injury from practice, while Miller (hamstring) has been limited in practice this week, giving Gray a prime chance to make an impact.

Malik Nabers is nursing an ankle injury, which he insists isn’t serious and should be ready for Week 1, though he’s unlikely to play in this game. With Nabers and Darius Slayton both dealing with injuries, Jalin Hyatt, Isaiah McKenzie, Isaiah Hodgins, Allen Robinson II, Miles Boykin, Bryce Ford-Wheaton, and Ayir Asante will all have opportunities to make plays.
