HOUSTON — Protecting rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud is the main priority in 2023. The Houston Texans project their No. 2 overall pick to be the franchise’s future, but they will need help from the offensive line.
In the 20-9 win over the New England Patriots in the first preseason game, most of the chaos began along the interior with rookie center Juice Scruggs and second-year left guard Kenyon Green. New England pressured Stroud on five of his seven dropbacks.
