The Houston Texans are off to a better start at 3-2 than last season at 2-3. However, DeAndre Hopkins has had a slow start by his standards after a hot start in 2018. Entering the 2019 season, head coach Bill O’Brien told the media that health was the ultimate factor for Hopkins moving forward.
Hopkins underwent surgery in the offseason to repair the damage that occurred on his shoulder after playing hurt towards the ends of the season with Will Fuller and Demaryius Thomas being ruled out for the playoffs.
