Texans evaluate receiver options ahead of NFL trade deadline

Houston Texans insider Jonathan M. Alexander addresses questions about potential receiver trades and running back rotations during the latest mailbag. With Marvin Harrison Jr. joining the team and Tank Dell returning, receiver Xavier Hutchinson may see decreased playing time. The Texans have won two straight games, raising optimism as they face an upcoming schedule against the Giants, Chargers, Browns, and Colts. Alexander confirms that David Montgomery will remain a prominent running back despite inquiries about a possible shift to Woody Marks and Jawhar Jordan as starters. The adjustments in the offensive strategy also include the use of run-pass options to support the running game.
