DeMeco Ryans discusses importance of games and practice for roster cuts

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans addressed the significance of preseason games and practice in evaluating players for the final roster. He stated that he considers all aspects of player performance and improvement without favoring one over the other. Ryans emphasized the value of versatility among players, particularly for those fighting for backup positions. During the Texans' recent preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, wide receiver Jared Wayne stood out with three receptions and a touchdown. The Texans will play the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, seeking to improve their overall performance after a lackluster showing against the Chargers.
