The Houston Texans play in the AFC South. This hub brings together the club’s official roster, player profiles, and related coverage.
The roster at a glance
The source lists 84 active, practice-squad, and reserve-list entries after released and transferred entries are excluded; 55 carry its ACT designation. An active-roster label is not a guarantee that a player will dress for a particular game.
Every player row below links to an individual profile and preserves the NFL’s status code. The roster was checked on September 20, 2026. It is a dated roster snapshot, not a game-day inactive report.

Plays & drives across covered games
LIVE DATAUpdated Oct 11, 2026, 4:13 pm EDT
Play and drive totals cover 73 completed games across 32 teams. Games counted can differ by team. Rates use summed outcomes and opportunities; no minimum attempts apply. A missing value in any counted game withholds that metric. These are dated covered-game figures, not a complete season.

First downs count the play record's total flags, including recorded penalty awards; they can differ from drive summaries. Conversion attempts use recorded converted and failed down flags, including flagged kneels. Nullified downs, punts and field goals are not inferred attempts.
Inside-20 drives have a recorded down starting closer than 20 yards from the opponent's goal line. Reaching only the 20 is excluded. Only touchdowns for the possessing team on those drives count. This definition is not an official league red-zone ranking.
Possession includes overtime. Time is minutes:seconds; per-game time is rounded to the nearest second. Possession share divides the team's recorded seconds by the full elapsed time of its counted games, including overtime. Rates use summed opportunities and zero opportunities have no percentage. Equal displayed values share a rank; rankings describe only the matching supplied teams. — = not supplied.
Regular-season record and points; postseason shows how each run ended. Expected W is the win total implied by points scored and allowed (Pythagorean expectation, exponent 2.37); the small figure is actual minus expected, where +1 or more suggests close-game luck. From WHYNFL's results archive, which begins in 1999, counted by franchise (Raiders include Oakland, Chargers San Diego, Rams St. Louis). Splits cover the regular season and playoffs: night games kick off at 7 pm Eastern or later (games without a listed kickoff are left out), and one-score games are decided by 8 points or fewer.

The Houston Texans hype gameday versus Cincinnati, point to a preview with a Little Caesars code, ask fans to like if they are excited, and say say less.
The Texans marked their 25th season with a halftime ceremony, a two-part franchise history and great moments from Marc Vandermeer, and covered the Cowboys game with Will Anderson Jr.'s pregame speech and comments from DeMeco Ryans, C.J. Stroud and the coordinators.
C.J. Stroud ran for one score and threw for another while Houston's defense held Cam Ward's offense to 187 yards, leaving Tennessee as one of the league's winless teams.
Houston pairs C.J. Stroud with his Ohio State teammate minutes after its first win of the season, while Arizona collects 2027 second- and sixth-round picks for the No. 4 pick of 2024.
Cincinnati declared Swayze Bozeman out, Chicago is unlikely to get Dayo Odeyingbo back, and the Giants are checking Colton Hood for a concussion, while Houston lost David Montgomery earlier in Nashville.
