HOUSTON — With the hiring of DeMeco Ryans as head coach, the Houston Texans have taken on plenty of mantras such as “S.W.A.R.M.” and “Iron Sharpens Iron.” Another one that they may need to put on a t-shirt is “Next Man Up,” especially with the number of injuries they have sustained during training camp.
The offensive side of the ball has been hit the hardest with starting offensive lineman Scott Quessenberry (ACL, MCL) out for the season and Tytus Howard (hand) out for 4-6 weeks. The tight ends group had to manage without reserve tight ends Brevin Jordan and Teagen Quitoriano for most of the camp but received good news before the start of practice on Saturday when Quitoriano was activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list.
