Texans Preseason Struggles Exposed | Houston Texans News

Houston Texans’ preseason opener against the Chargers ended in a lopsided 27-7 loss, exposing shaky offensive line play, rookie QB Blake Fisher’s uncertain future, and defensive vulnerabilities—especially at cornerback. The line’s inability to generate pressure or protect the QB raised alarms, while the team’s struggles in short-yardage and physicality painted a concerning picture. The injury to sixth-round QB Graham Mertz further limited evaluation of the QB room, adding urgency to the team’s need to fix these issues before the regular season. While preseason games offer little predictive value, this loss has fans and analysts alike questioning whether the Texans are ready for the real grind.
