Seventy-two hours to kickoff …
• Texans coach David Culley surprised precisely no one making the proclamation he did on Monday, naming Tyrod Taylor his starting quarterback for Sunday’s opener against the Jags. And it’s fair to surmise that if Deshaun Watson isn’t the starter (and, again, no one thought he would be based off camp), he won’t be the backup either—with Davis Mills likely to dress as the No. 2 and Watson likely inactive. Which means we now enter the next phase of this drawn-out saga, and that’s the part where the team has actual games to prepare for, and an actual starting quarterback to get ready for those.
