Texans seek offensive improvement with young players in 2026 offseason

Summary

The Houston Texans are focusing on improving their offense after a playoff exit. Depth issues surfaced last season, particularly when key receivers Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz were injured. Rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel were unable to provide sufficient support, raising questions about the team's playmaking capabilities. As the 2026 season approaches, the Texans look to see if Tank Dell can return to form and if emerging players can contribute effectively. Their campaign kicks off in September.
