A banged-up defense and rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson suffering a season-ending knee injury led to the Houston Texans finishing 2017 at 4-12. The returns of Watson, J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus bodes well for head coach Bill O’Brien’s unit and with it also getting defensive back Tyrann Mathieu in free agency, Houston’s secondary receives a boost.
In what has been a progressive offseason for the Texans, the biggest news story came Friday via John McClain – NFL reporter on the Texans for the Houston Chronicle. According to McClain, the franchise has decided to move Kareem Jackson from cornerback to safety for next season.
