Excited because of the offense in which he'll play.
And excited because he's feeling good physically.
"I'm healthy now," Coates said. "That was big for me coming down here, was being healthy."
The Texans claimed Coates off the waiver wire in March, and it came after a 2017 hampered by shoulder, ankle and knee injuries during the season with Cleveland. But those health troubles are behind him now, and he's optimistic about his future after seeing first-hand how the Houston offense works.
"There's a lot going on it, and it's good for me," Coates said.
