Overview

  • Houston’s official Week 2 report lists center Jake Andrews and receivers Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios as out for Monday’s home opener against the Buccaneers.
  • Jarrett Patterson will start at center after allowing no pressures on 11 pass‑blocking snaps in relief in Week 1, according to PFF.
  • Right guard Ed Ingram practiced fully Friday and Saturday and carries no injury designation for his Texans debut.
  • The Week 1 reshuffle led to three sacks allowed and a 41.2% pressure rate, the fifth‑highest of the week per PFF.
  • With Kirk and Berrios sidelined, Justin Watson, rookie Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson are expected to cover slot snaps and return duties, and Derek Stingley Jr. practiced following a brief hip issue.
