Ersery posted a cleaner game at left tackle after struggling in week one, allowing three pressures but no sacks in 30 pass-block reps. His progress is a bright spot for Houston’s young line and a potential stabilizer for Stroud if he continues to improve.

Ersery had a rough NFL debut at right tackle, yielding five pressures, two QB hits, and a sack in 63 snaps. It’s the first Texans game in a Texans uniform for the rookie, and Week 2 will be critical to determine his immediate role and future trajectory.

Ersery had a rough Week 1 debut at right tackle, rating a bleak 41.6 overall blocking grade with a 29.4 pass-blocking grade. He ceded five pressures, two QB hits, and yielded a sack after shifting from left to right late pregame. Facing a tough Rams front, the rookie’s movements will be scrutinized as Week 2 approaches.

Ersery moves from LT to RT, testing his flexibility as a former Minnesota LT. His ability to adapt will be key as the Texans rework protection and Stroud’s pocket is reshaped by the new lineup.

Ersery’s rapid ascent into the starting LT role sets up a critical Week 1 test against Jared Verse. A solid debut could anchor Stroud’s protection, while any rough edges could accelerate Houston’s learning curve behind a rookie lineman.
