Texans center competition leads training camp position battles

The Houston Texans are focusing on the battle for the starting center position as training camp approaches. Rookie Keylan Rutledge, the team's first-round pick, is contending with veteran Evan Brown and incumbent Jake Andrews. Rutledge participated in practice at left guard but is expected to compete for the center role, a position he cross-trained for during the draft process. ESPN's Ben Solak highlighted this competition as the top battle to watch in camp. The outcome will shape the Texans' offensive line strategy as they aim for a strong season with four new starters expected to protect quarterback C.J. Stroud.
