The Houston Texans face a herculean task in improving their standing in the pantheon of the NFL landscape, and linebacker Denzel Perryman looks to play a major role in helping the team rebound from their dismal 2022 season.
The newly acquired free agent has dealt with injuries over the course of his career but gave reporters a positive update on his health when asked about how he felt after practice on June 14.
Said Perryman: “Yeah, so basically I’m just happy to be back on the field right now, doing individuals, group installs, that type of stuff, and then when practice practice — when they start doing team stuff, I’m off to the side getting my mental stuff. But, body-wise, I feel amazing, actually.”
This is a good sign for the Texans’ defense, which will need help from every veteran on their roster to buoy the play of younger talents who are still acclimating to life in the NFL. If Perryman can stay on the field through all 17 games of Houston regular season schedule, the team will surely benefit from his leadership and tenacity as they look to cement themselves as AFC contenders in 2023.
