Starting on Thursday August 6, the Washington Redskins will be conducting joint practices against the Houston Texans leading up to their first preseason game on August 13th against the Cleveland Browns.
These practices with the Texans will be scripted and there will be some scrimmages as well, so here are some things to watch for as the two teams get in some work against each other.
1. Redskins OT’s vs. J.J. Watt
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is hands down the best defensive player in the NFL. We saw what he could up close last season in week 1, when then starter at right tackle Tyler Polumbus struggled mightily to try to slow down Watt.
