Texans' Contract Year Crucible | Houston News

The Houston Texans’ roster is brimming with players at career crossroads—each game this season could be their last shot to prove their worth and secure massive contracts or risk hitting free agency with uncertain futures. From Nico Collins’ quest for long-term security after three straight 1,000-yard seasons, to Calen Bullock and Kamari Lassiter aiming for top-tier pay bumps, every player is on the clock. Tank Dell and Xavier Hutchinson are fighting to re-establish themselves amid fierce competition, while Brevin Jordan and Tommy Togiai need breakout performances to earn new deals. Quarterback C.J. Stroud’s extension talks hang in the balance, and Davis Mills might bide his time to maximize his value. Even Henry TooToo, thrust into a bigger role due to injury, is riding his contract year for a payday. This season isn’t just about wins—it’s about futures.

Shanahan’s Rough Start to Season | Houston News

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suffered a brutal car crash last week, leaving him with a broken nose, three cracked ribs, a broken hand, over 40 facial stitches, and a severe concussion — but thankfully, no life-threatening injuries. The wreck, which occurred near his Northern California home on July 14th, involved another driver who walked away unharmed, with no signs of drugs or alcohol. Officials are withholding details, and no citations were issued. While Shanahan is expected to recover at home, he’ll participate in team activities on a limited basis as assistants step in to cover his duties. With the 49ers’ season opener against the Rams in Melbourne just weeks away, his recovery — and his return to the sideline — will be closely watched.

Texans Eye Raw Tackle Dahoue | Houston News

The Houston Texans are on the hunt for offensive line depth, and their latest target? Six-foot-nine rookie tackle Dodji Dahoue, a raw but physically imposing talent who recently worked out for the team. A former basketball player turned tight end, Dahoue switched to the offensive line at junior college and Eastern Michigan before catching the Giants’ eye — only to be released. Now, with the Texans holding multiple free agent workouts, Dahoue’s size and potential make him intriguing, even if his NFL experience is minimal. While a 53-man roster spot feels unlikely, the International Player Pathway program could give him a shot on the practice squad — and Houston’s roster moves suggest they’re keeping all options open as training camp nears.
