More promises that some players’ snap counts will increase. No new news on trade rumors, at least not at midnight Sunday night. Let’s see if Monday brings to fruition any trades for the Texans.
Texans rookies Jonathan Greenard, Ross Blacklock could get more reps after the bye week
By Mark Lane, TexansWire
Excerpt: The Houston Texans haven’t had many contributions from their top two rookies in their 2020 NFL Draft class.
Second-round defensive tackle Ross Blacklock has provided four combined tackles and a tackle for loss in six games. Third-round outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard finally got on the field in Week 4 after struggling with a hamstring injury, but has played a total of 11 defensive snaps with 59 special teams reps.
Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver believes the rookies will be able to see more playing time once the Texans return from their Week 8 bye.
“I think those guys will be given opportunities just because of the work ethic they have and the effort they put forth on the practice field,” Weaver said.
That’s it. I mean, there’s obviously trade rumors…but, yeah, there’s really nothing else to share. Yet.
