Texans not expected to play many starters vs. Chargers, per NFL Insider
What's the plan for the Houston Texans surrounding their starters for Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers?
The Houston Texans are set to face the Los Angeles Chargers in a preseason game at Reliant Stadium. According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, most of the starters will not play, with only a few key players expected to take the field. Names like quarterback C.J. Stroud, running back David Montgomery, and wide receiver Nico Collins will likely be sidelined.
Veteran offensive linemen Wyatt Teller will also miss the action. However, backup quarterback Davis Mills and rookie running back Noah Whittington are likely to start. On defense, players such as Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, Derek Stingley Jr., and Kamari Lassiter will not play. Instead, second-round pick Kayden McDonald at defensive tackle and fourth-round pick Wade Woodaz at linebacker will take their places.
Both McDonald and Woodaz are promising talents, with McDonald having previously been named Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year and Woodaz showcasing his strong play and aggressive style during training camp. Kickoff for the game is set for 7 p.m.
