Texans Rookies Battle for Roster Spots | Houston News

Houston Texans rookies are hitting the ground running at training camp, with key draft picks like Keylan Rutledge, Kayden McDonald, Marlin Klein, Lewis Bond, and Aiden Fisher all vying for starting roles or roster spots. Rutledge, a first-round pick, is poised to anchor the offensive line—possibly moving to center—and must lock down the job. McDonald, a second-rounder, faces a tougher path adapting from nose tackle to a wider front. Klein, also a second-rounder, is recovering from a hamstring injury and must seize his chance in a crowded tight end room. Bond, a sixth-rounder, is impressing with his route-running and yards after catch, needing to keep that momentum to make the 53-man roster. Fisher, a seventh-rounder, has the best shot at a starting linebacker spot thanks to his dominant college stats and now must prove he can translate that to the pros. Training camp is their proving ground—every snap counts. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
