The Houston Texans went into the 2026 offseason in urgent need of improvements across their offensive line. The matter was only exacerbated after the Texans shockingly agreed to trade starting tackle/guard Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns, and depth center Juice Scruggs to the Detroit Lions.

And as of this past Tuesday, it appeared as though they were successful in their original endeavor, culminating with the major acquisition of two-time All-Pro (and five-time Pro-Bowler) guard Wyatt Teller.
