The Houston Texans enter the 2026 NFL season with a strong roster, retaining 10 starters from the top defense. Key offseason moves include improving the offensive line and adding running back David Montgomery from the Lions. However, concerns linger regarding the backup running back situation, as there is uncertainty surrounding Woody Marks entering his second year. The Texans only added one other running back, Noah Whittington, as an undrafted free agent, raising questions about depth and explosiveness in the running game.
