Though this is the preseason, there is still a lot to watch for with the Texans as they will most likely play many reserve players. Be prepared to see players battling for roster depth spots, and at this point of the schedule that is what the preseason games are for.
Many should be excited to be able to watch the offensive line rookies in Tytus Howard and Max Scharping. It is going to be fun to see where the are in comparison to the offensive linemen from last season, because as many know the offensive line needs help fast when looking back at last season.
Another player who would be exciting to see take some snaps in this game is Kahale Warring. Warring is the rookie tight end of the Texans many believe can become a difference maker on the roster.
It is a shame that A.J. McCarron has a thumb injury and won’t be playing as the backup quarterback anytime soon, but that means more of Joe Webb and what he can offer as a quarterback. The question is will the injury hamper McCarron’s chances of making the roster if Webb performs well this preseason?

Even though the two teams have been having joint practices this week — with a few heated moments at times — finally playing in an actual game day atmosphere will be good for this team, especially the younger players on the roster.
