The Houston Texans have checked off the last box of their offseason workouts before training camp arrives later next month with mandatory minicamp now in the books.There's a lot that can change between minicamp and the start of next season. But at the very least, that brief three-day stint of practices in the building helps provide a bit of a gauge of where this roster stands less than three months away from week one.Those practices also help provide a little bit of perspective on how their depth chart could shake out once the season arrives.Of course, it's still early in the process. But based on the information we know now, let's break down what the Texans' depth chart might look like with minicamp come and gone:Note: We're limiting the depth chart entries to those predicted to make the 53-man roster. To see how those predictions currently look, click here.Quarterbacks (3)QB1: C.J. StroudQB2: Davis MillsQB3: Graham MertzNo surprises here. The Texans have carried the same three quarterbacks from last year's roster onboard all offseason, and shouldn't be expected to conduct any changes to their depth chart either.Running Backs (4)RB1: David MontgomeryRB2: Woody MarksRB3: Jawhar JordanRB4/FB1: British BrooksThe Texans' top two options in the backfield are clear, and Montgomery will certainly be the one shouldering the bigger load. Jordan seems like a safe bet to fill in as the third man up, while Brooks takes on more of a special teams role with some reps at fullback.Wide Receivers (6)WR1 (Z): Nico CollinsWR2 (X): Jayden HigginsWR3 (F): Jaylin NoelWR4: Xavier HutchinsonWR5: Tank DellWR6: Lewis BondThe top three names in the wide receiver room are starting to separate themselves from the pack. Maybe Dell could surprise some by climbing up higher than fifth on the totem pole, but it'd be smarter to reserve those expectations until he's back to fully participating in practice.Tight Ends (4)TE1: Dalton SchultzTE2: Foster MoreauTE3: Brevin JordanTE4: Marlin KleinEvery spot beyond Schultz in the tight end room is a bit of a crapshoot to this point. But with Moreau's upside as a blocker that can be used in 12 personnel, Jordan showing out in minicamp and OTAs, and Klein going down with an early hamstring injury, this feels like a fair order.Offensive Linemen (10)LT1: Aireontae ErseryLG1: Wyatt TellerC1: Jake AndrewsRG1: Ed IngramRT1: Trent BrownTs: Blake Fisher, Braden SmithG/Cs: Evan Brown, Keylan Rutledge, Febechi NwaiwuThis group could shift in a few spots once Week 1 arrives; the biggest of those being Rutledge finding his way into the starting mix on the interior, whether that be at left guard or center.Jun 9, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Houston Texans guard Keylan Rutledge arrives for the team’s minicamp at Houston Methodist Training Center.

Yet, his ability as a run stopper and the power he brings between the edges is something the Texans could use immediately to make this defense even better.Edge Rushers (5)ED1: Will AndersonED2: Danielle HunterED3: Dylan HortonED4: Dominique RobinsonED5: Ali GayeYou could sort the depth spots from three to five any way you want at this point. The competition won't be truly sorted out until camp. But Horton's been in the building the longest, and Robinson is the more proven piece between himself and Gaye. So this order feels the most likely at the moment.Linebackers (5)MLB: Azeez Al-ShaairWLB: Henry To'oTo'oLB3: Marte MapuLB4: Jamal HillLB5: Wade WoodazOne battle to be highlighted between now and Week 1 will be what lies ahead at the Texans' LB3 spot. Without E.J. Speed in the mix, it's really a wide-open duel to be had for the next several weeks.Nov 9, 2025; Houston, Texas, USA; Houston Texans linebacker E.J. Speed (45) is introduced before playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars at NRG Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Thomas Shea-Imagn Images | Thomas Shea-Imagn ImagesHill or Woodaz could very well end up taking that lead, but Mapu's sheer edge in experience from his time with the New England Patriots makes him stick out as the favorite for that role, to this point.Cornerbacks (5)CB1: Derek StingleyCB2: Kamari LassiterCB3: Jaylin SmithCB4: Tremon SmithNB: Jalen PitreNot many questions to be had here. Maybe the Texans carry another corner into the season. Regardless, these five might just make up the best cornerback group the NFL has to offer.Safeties (4)SS1: Reed BlankenshipFS1: Calen BullockSS2: Kamari RamseyFS2: Jaylen ReedAs to what happens to M.J. Stewart leading up to the season is still yet to be determined. Perhaps he starts the season on the PUP list if he's not 100%. Even without him, this group is well-rounded with a Pro Bowler, a captain for a Super Bowl-winning defense, and two budding young talents. Yeesh.Special Teams (3)K: Ka'imi FairbairnP: Jack StonehouseLS: Austin BrinkmanJack Stonehouse and Kai Kroeger will still be duking it out in the punting battle until training camp. However, we'll give the edge to the UDFA in this instance. Other than that, this special teams unit won't see any changes from last year.Sign up for our free Houston Texans On SI newsletter, and get breaking Texans news delivered to your inbox daily!Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
