The Houston Texans, led by rookie QB C.J. Stroud and coach DeMeco Ryans, dramatically improved last season, aiming for the AFC South title again this year.

They strengthened their roster by adding star players like Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon and expect to perform well despite a tough schedule ahead.

Key returning players include Stroud and standout receiver Nico Collins, while the defense will see some changes due to the suspension of Denico Autry.
