The lights are on for the Houston Texans this season. The Texans will have extra attention this preseason as they will be featured on the HBO series Hard Knocks. The show will definitely pay attention to the quarterback battle in Houston, which is wide open following the departure of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ryan Mallett, Tom Savage, and new addition Brian Hoyer will all compete to run Bill O’Brien’s spread offense.
When the Texans get started in Houston, they do so without a familiar face. Andre Johnson was the Texans second-ever first round pick in 2003, and was signed by division rival Indianapolis this offseason. Houston acquired several new wideouts to replace Johnson, and it’s interesting to see how his absence affects the Texans on and off the field.
Here’s the Texans training camp schedule:
