The Houston Texans will have an extended training camp throughout the month of August. Bubble players won’t have the benefit of preseason games to make their cases. Instead, they will need strong showings in practice to prove their worth to coach and general manager Bill O’Brien.
Here are seven Texans who need to have strong camps.
1. WR Keke Coutee
The Texans aren’t trading Kenny Stills; he isn’t the odd man out with Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb coming to town. Coutee is the receiver whose job is in jeopardy.
The former 2018 fifth-round pick had a promising rookie season, but injuries and landing in Bill O’Brien’s doghouse last year derailed his second year. There wouldn’t be new receivers in Houston right now if O’Brien thought Coutee was dependable.
