Graham Mertz shined in Houston’s 26-7 win over Detroit, going 14-of-16 for 145 yards with two 20+ yard throws and a 20-yard scramble, hinting at a strong dress-rehearsal case for Houston’s QB depth. Xavier Hutchinson hauled in a pivotal 24-yard third-and-11 to fuel a Texans drive. Detroit’s Hendon Hooker faced a late interception by Jalen Mills as Houston’s defense produced three sacks and a takeaway. PFF graded five Texans defenders—Arthur Maulet, Dylan Horton, Jalen Mills, Jake Hansen and Tommy Togiai—top, while D’Angelo Ross, EJ Speed, Jamal Hill, Casey Toohill and Junior Tafuna logged lower marks. The Togiai-T fatukasi note underscored roster battles, with Togiai rising in two preseason games and Fatukasi fighting for a spot.

Houston Texans roster projection: Who makes the team?

Texans finalize a 53-man roster with Stroud as Week 1 starter, while Mills, Slovis and Mertz shape QB depth on a potential practice-squad path. Pierce headlines the backfield with Ogunbowale and Marks as grinders, and Mixon on NFI could preserve Pierce’s workload. Collins and Hutchinson anchor a crowded WR corps, Schultz leads a versatile TE group, and the line stabilizes behind Ersery and Howard. On defense, Anderson anchors the edge with Rankins and Settle inside, while Pitre and Gardner-Johnson patrol the back end as rookies and role players battle for spots.
