TEXANS RUN WILD?! Stroud ON FIRE, Higgins Hurt & Keylan Rutledge Takes Over | Joint Practice Takeaways

The Houston Texans brought the HEAT to Tuesday’s joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders — and there’s a LOT to unpack.

DeMeco Ryans loved what he saw from the Texans running backs, including Woody Marks’ ability as a receiver. C.J. Stroud was ON FIRE, the defense got a major test against Klint Kubiak’s Raiders offense, and Houston’s offensive line communication continues to take another step forward.

Kim Davis joins the show to break down her biggest takeaways from Texans joint practice, including:

• Jayden Higgins’ injury and what it could mean for Houston’s offense
• C.J. Stroud’s standout performance against the Raiders
• Woody Marks making plays as a runner AND receiver
• Keylan Rutledge commanding the center position
• Blake Fisher going head-to-head with Maxx Crosby — and holding his own
• The Texans’ offensive line communication under Klint Kubiak
• Houston’s defense getting valuable work against the Raiders
• With Higgins dealing with an injury and Jaylin Noel also nursing one, does Houston have enough at wide receiver?
• Could the Texans tight end room become even more important this season?

The preseason is giving us more clues about what this Houston Texans team can become.

Are the Texans deeper than we thought — or is WR becoming a serious concern?
