It's a decision that shows the confidence this Texans unit has in its roster, albeit while falling to 3-5 on the season last week against the Denver Broncos. Instead of going outside of the building to look for that aspired talent, they have all they need for a potential run in-house already.

Last season, Wright was with (in order) the Steelers, 49ers, Chiefs, and Titans, underscoring his journeyman status. It also speaks to what kind of player he has been. Wright, 29, is 1-for-1 on field goal attempts this season and 2-for-2 on extra point tries.

After a loss to Denver that had some unsightly red-zone offense, Texans fans were not happy in this week's mailbag.

Two teams in the AFC South made blockbuster moves to fix their franchise and make a run to the postseason. Neither team was the Houston Texans.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have been aggressive at the trade deadline in past seasons, trading valuable draft picks for upgrades they believed could increase their chances of winning a Super Bowl.

The Houston Texans have been quiet ahead of Tuesday's 3 p.m. NFL trade deadline, but the contenders in the AFC South were busy.

The Houston Texans could make a big trade to bolster their group around quarterback C.J. Stroud before the deadline.

Midway through the 2025 NFL season, the Texans are sitting in third place in the AFC South with a 3-5 record. They host the Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) before hitting the road to take on the Tennessee Titans (1-8), both of which seem winnable on paper, but could be proven wrong on the field without quarterback C.J. Stroud.
