Houston Texans linebacker Christian Harris enters the 2025 season with optimism following a challenging previous year marred by injuries. Head coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized the importance of Harris's work ethic and expressed his hope for a stellar performance reminiscent of Harris's breakout year in 2023, where he accumulated 101 tackles and two interceptions. Competition for a starting role remains intense with players like E.J. Speed and Henry To'oTo'o also vying for position. The upcoming season is pivotal for Harris, as he must prove his worth to earn a new contract or risk testing free agency.
