Akers, who spent half of the 2024 season as the Texans ' No. 2 runner, agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints Friday afternoon. He will join the franchise as a backup to Alvin Kamara, along with returning secondary option Kendre Miller and rookie Devin Neal.

When it comes to stacking up some of the most unlucky players in the NFL last season, the stats show that Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was seemingly among the top of the list in that category of misfortune.

Nico Collins, Joe Mixon, and not much after that. The tight end group was a letdown, following a unit that went from a total of 899 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023 to 672 yards and three touchdowns.

The Houston Texans are getting closer to developing a new training center. A new leader will oversee the project to optimize opportunities stemming from the facility, Texans President Mike Tomon said.

Throughout the past two seasons going on their third, the Houston Texans have been led on the sidelines by the voice of head coach DeMeco Ryans, who came aboard as a defensive coordinator from the San Francisco 49ers, taking the reigns of three-win football team, and has since led this group to two-straight division titles in the AFC South.

Rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins looks like the real deal but running back Dameon Pierce has a lot to prove after missing minicamp.

Dalton Schultz currently wears the No. 86, but is he the best player to ever wear the number in Houston Texans' history?

Though, one name who's remained in the mix, as he has for the past six seasons, is Texans veteran Tytus Howard, a 16-game starter across 2024 who now eyes his seventh career year in Houston, shifting from the outside of the line to inside at right guard.
