It's April 7. This is NFL News Today. Football coverage powered by AI. The Houston Texans went all in this offseason, tweaking their roster on both sides of the ball to build on last year's success heading into 20. 26. But those moves sparked some heated position battles that could get even spicier depending on their draft picks at the end of April. Up front at center, Jake Andrews holds the edge after starting last year. But free agent Evan Brown brings versatility from his time with the cardinals and could push for the job right away. The team might grab a top prospect in their first few picks to lock down that spot for week one. On defense, the interior line saw major changes with Tim Settle and Mario Edwards leaving, leaving Sheldon Rankins without a clear partner at the E. 2. Defensive Tackle Roe Tommy Togui impressed last season, Logan Hall joined via free agency, but expected draft to factor heavy here too. The cornerback three spot is wide open behind stars, Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lasseter.

Better and Tremont Smith held it down before Jalen Smith's injury, both should be healthy and they hosted Martin Emerson Jr. from Cleveland. Draft pick had sealed the deal. These battles promise real competition through training camp, shaping a Texan squad ready to dominate come fall.
