Houston already has Jordan Akins and Darren Fells in assigned roles as starting tight end and red zone threat. Jordan Thomas and Kahale Warring will be going after each other and the incumbents for playing time, let alone a spot on the roster. Stapleton would be lucky if the Texans carried four tight ends, and if they did, that might give him a shot to make the roster.
