The Houston Texans made significant investments in their secondary and offensive line with the first-round selections of cornerback Derek Stingley and guard Kenyon Green.
The Texans have protected those investments throughout the club’s offseason workouts as the rookies recover from injuries sustained at the end of their collegiate careers. Stingley played three games due to a Lisfranc injury while Green had a knee issue he worked through during the pre-draft process.
Coach Lovie Smith told reporters after mandatory minicamp Tuesday at Houston Methodist Training Center that he anticipates both rookies will be ready when training camp kicks off five weeks from now.
