The Houston Texans are focused on protecting their franchise quarterback, C.J. Stroud, who is emerging as a key player for the team in his second season. Stroud, a former Ohio State standout, is poised to lead the Texans to the playoffs for the second consecutive year. With his strong performance, it’s clear that Stroud is shaping up to be the centerpiece of Houston’s future, and the team needs to surround him with the right talent to remain competitive.
To achieve this, the Texans’ priority should be to bolster their offensive line. While having skilled playmakers around Stroud is important, a solid offensive line is crucial to his success. Protecting Stroud will ensure he has the time and security to thrive in games and avoid injury, making it the most pressing need for the Texans moving forward.
In a move to strengthen their offensive line, the Texans signed ten-year NFL veteran Cameron Erving. Erving, a Florida State product, brings experience to the team, having played for several franchises, including being part of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning roster in recent years. His signing is expected to add depth to the Texans’ offensive front as the team looks to improve its protection of Stroud.
Along with Erving, the Texans made several roster changes, releasing cornerback Desmond King and offensive lineman David Sharpe to make room for the new addition. Houston is preparing for an important matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, which will be a significant game to determine the top team in Texas. The Texans are coming off two tough losses, and this game is crucial for them to regain momentum and stay in playoff contention.
