HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans' offense was prepared for a test to end a sweltering practice Wednesday.
But in a new-look offense, some familiar names had already excited the crowd in moments, such as when quarterback C.J. Stroud found wideout Nico Collins down the sidelines. Or when tight end Dalton Schultz made a juggling one-handed catch from Stroud.
Things hadn't been all positive for the unit, so the hope was the starting offense could execute a 2-minute drill and punch it in for a touchdown. Despite Stroud turning some broken plays into first-down scrambles, the defense made a few pass breakups to force a field goal to end their day.
