Texans are the Houston NFL team. Current news centers on QB options and on-field actions affecting their season.
Stefon Diggs has signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders, giving quarterback Jayden Daniels a proven No. 2 to complement Terry McLaurin. Diggs arrives amid a legal saga that recently cleared him of felony charges, and he is positioned to make an immediate impact as Washington pivots to a more productive passing attack.
Laremy Tunsil has sustained a torn triceps in practice, forcing the Commanders to miss substantial time and prompting a shift at left tackle. Brandon Wylie is expected to fill in, with further evaluations ahead of the season opener. The injury follows a standout 2025 season in which Tunsil anchored Washington’s pass protection.
The 49ers have trimmed to a 53-man roster ahead of their season opener in Australia against the Rams. They trade for veteran interior lineman Jarrett Patterson, add depth at guard and center, and place several players on IR or PUP as they prepare for Week 1.
The Raiders have faced a sobering evaluation of their progress after a tough preseason loss to the Texans. Fernando Mendoza’s NFL debut exposed rough edges, with a late comeback signaling potential but underscoring gaps that must be filled as they rebuild.
The NFL has fined Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair more than $11,000 for wearing eye black bearing the name Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl killed in Gaza. Al-Shaair has repeatedly worn messages to highlight Palestinian casualties, prompting public support and ongoing penalties from league officials.
The Giants have started J.J. McCarthy over Jameis Winston in Week 7, after McCarthy led a fourth-quarter comeback against the Saints. Harbaugh is evaluating who gives New York the best chance to win as balance remains elusive.
