The Houston Texans take on the Green Bay Packers to commence the 2021 preseason.
For the first time since 2019, the Texans will get to see what their players look like in an exhibition setting. While they will keep score, the results don’t matter. What is consequential is the evaluation process.
“What’s important more than that for us is the evaluation process,” coach David Culley told reporters on Aug. 12. “Now, they do keep score, and whoever’s in there at the end want to win the ball game, and we feel the same way about that. But the most important thing right now for us is the evaluation process and getting our players in to be able to see where we are and what we need to do to go further.”
Here are five storylines to watch for against the Packers.
