Texans Finally Close to Debut of Their Final New Piece on Defense

Denico Autry is back but a few defenders aren't

The reigning AFC Defensive Player of the Week strode onto the field for practice. Coming off one of the best individual games in team history Will Anderson knew he was mentioned in the same vein as a football legend who also played defensive end for the Houston Texans: J.J. Watt.

There’s work to do though. Anderson isn’t resting on the success of one game. He can’t. Not with his “big brother” making his 2024 practice debut.

Defensive end Denico Autry hit the practice field for the first time on Wednesday. One of the biggest investments in the offseason is finally on track to make his debut. The six-game suspension for the violation of the NFL’s Performance Enhancing Substances policy is behind him.

Opportunity is in front of him.
