Texans' Bill O'Brien sees progress from rookies Tytus Howard, Max Scharping

When the Texans were overhauling their offensive line this offseason, two key pieces were added.

They drafted Tytus Howard in the first round and Max Scharping in the second round.

Howard was an immediate starter at left offensive guard, but has since shifted to his natural right tackle spot as the replacement for veteran Seantrel Henderson.

Scharping replaced Senio Kelemete at left guard against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Scharping did have three false starts against the Falcons during a 53-32 win, including two in the red zone.
