This qualifies as big news for Texans fans. While it’s noteworthy that Tytus Howard will return from the broken finger that kept him out last week, it’s a bigger deal that Roderick Johnson will reportedly replace Seantrel Henderson as the Texans’ starting right tackle when Houston hosts the Jaguars this afternoon.

Johnson was clearly the Texans’ best tackle during the preseason; despite that, Bill O’Brien and Mike Devlin gave Julien Davenport every opportunity to hold on to the starting gig at left tackle.
