Texans Strengthen O-Line with Vets Teller, Smith

About this episode

The Houston Texans have bolstered their offensive line by signing veterans Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith, both known for their blocking skills. Teller, 31, joins from the Browns and will switch from right guard to left, while Smith, 30, stays at right tackle after joining from the Colts. Both players missed games last season due to injuries, with Teller dealing with a calf issue and Smith suffering a late-season concussion and neck injury. Despite these concerns, the Texans hope these experienced players will stabilize their line and help them reach new heights.

On March 30th, Houston Texans just beefed up their offensive line by signing Vets Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith, both proven blockers in their early 30s. Tellers coming over from the Browns at 31 and Smith's jumping from the Colts at 30. Fans and analysts see this as smart long-term cash, stabilizing that front wall for years. Both dudes sat out four games last season with nagging injuries. Another dealt with a calf issue that kept him rotating and eventually sidelineed him for good. Now he's flipping from right guard to left in Houston, a switch that could test him early. Teller sounds chill about it, chatting with old teammates who think he'll slide right in smooth. Meanwhile, Smith's got a rep as one of the league's underrated tackles, praised by his ex-GM for battling through personal demons like OCD and still. Balling out. Both dodged rumors of moving positions and stays at right tackle, but his late season concussion and neck knock raise flags. Trench's work is brutal and surgery's common for these guys.

Still, adding grizzled pros like these cuts down on the shuffle of front. In H-Town, everybody's crossing fingers for health and a clean run toward that ceiling smashing season. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
