The first week of preseason is always relatively boring. The starters only get a series or two of playing time, and the backups aren’t even the ones getting most of the reps — those belong to the third stringers.
But now that grueling first preseason game is out of the way, and with the San Francisco 49ers on the road to face the Houston Texans in their second preseason game, we will get to see a bit more of the starters.
And be reminded that we are one step closer to the return of “real” football.
