Houston Texans’ 50-SACK CHALLENGE: Will Anderson Jr. Says He Can Routinely DISRUPT OFFENSES

The Houston Texans are coming out of joint practice with plenty to talk about — and one goal should be staring everyone in the face: 50 SACKS.

Can the Texans defense get past 50 sacks during the 2026 NFL season? Straight up, that should be the goal.

Will Anderson Jr. is coming off the kind of dominant performance against the Patriots in the playoffs that showed just how disruptive he can be. Now, WAJ says he feels like he can produce performances like that routinely.

And if that's true?

That's scary for the rest of the NFL.

Because when Will Anderson Jr. is consistently winning like that, everybody else on the Houston Texans defensive line has an opportunity to eat.

In today's Locked On Texans, we're breaking down the latest Houston Texans joint practice update, Will Anderson Jr.'s comments, and whether Houston has enough pass-rushing firepower to reach the 50-sack mark.

We're also looking directly at two newcomers who could play a HUGE role in getting Houston there:

• Kayden McDonald
• Logan Hall

Can these additions help take pressure off Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter? Can the Texans create enough interior disruption to make life miserable for opposing quarterbacks? And what would a 50-sack Houston Texans defense look like over the course of an entire NFL season?

We're talking Texans football, Will Anderson Jr., Houston Texans defense, NFL sacks, joint practice, pass rush, Kayden McDonald, Logan Hall, Danielle Hunter, C.J. Stroud and the 2026 Texans season.
