Houston Texans Minicamp News: Can Montgomery & Marks Be a Top 10 RB Duo? + DeMeco’s Culture Shift

What’s REALLY happening at Houston Texans minicamp?

We’re breaking down the biggest takeaways from Texans minicamp and asking the big questions heading into the 2026 season:

🏈 Can the Texans running back duo of David Montgomery & Woody Marks become a TOP 10 RB tandem in the NFL? Houston brought Montgomery in to be a tone-setter, but can he return to 1,000-yard form without a Jahmyr Gibbs-style split? And if Woody Marks wants to help make this a top-tier backfield, consistency on the ground has to improve.

🔥 DeMeco Ryans explains the culture shift that has transformed the Houston Texans since 2023 — and why this franchise feels completely different.

📈 How excited should Texans fans be for Ersery’s second year? We explain why he may be the MOST IMPORTANT offensive lineman on the roster and why his development could define Houston’s offense.

👀 Plus: Should Texans fans expect a bigger role for Xavier Hutchinson in 2026? The trust from offensive play-caller Nick Caley is real — and it could matter more than people think.
