One of the problems that the Houston Texans have had in recent memory was the lack of depth at certain positions. In 2022, that may still be the case at some positions, but linebacker is not one of them. The Texans currently have several linebackers on the roster that could wind up being a week one starter for the team in 2022.
The Texans re-signed both Christian Kirksey and Kamu Grugier-Hill this offseason. Kirksey was the leader of the Texans defense in 2021 and will be around for the next two seasons. Kirksey’s veteran leadership will be extremely valuable for the younger players in the locker room.
