Got a question about the Texans?
Life in general?
Drew Dougherty's your guy.
He's been with the Texans since 2009 and is chock full of meaningful, as well as generally useless, information. Fire away by clicking HERE.
Alfredo Flores: Dear Drew, When is Denico Autry scheduled to return from suspension?
DD: He's back.
Autry was out for six games, but the suspension is over and he practiced on Wednesday at the Houston Methodist Training Center.
The defensive lineman, who posted 11.5 sacks last year with Tennessee, has been an absolute terror against the Texans over the previous 10 seasons.
If you include a pair of postseason games, he's played against Houston 15 times, logging 8.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss. He's also batted down six passes and registered 13 quarterback hits. Now, the Texans don't have to worry about him wrecking their games, and can unleash him on their opponents.
***Congrats Alfredo: your question is the Texas Lottery Scratchoffs-winning question. Someone from the organization will soon be in contact with you about it.***
Lacey Coffey: Dear Drew, Is Christian Harris going to play this season?
DD: Head Coach DeMeco Ryans said the linebacker is "doing well" and "improving". He was on the sidelines during the win over the Bills two Sundays ago.
"We are pulling for him to get back at the right time," Ryans said the day after the win over Buffalo.
Nilsson Guzman: Dear Drew, What would it take to get Tank Dell more involved in the game and get the ball rolling for him?
DD: Well Nilsson, Tank logged season highs in catches and yards, and caught his first touchdown of the season last Sunday in New England. I think you'll continue to see him get opportunities as the offense continues to gel.
Christian Heinz: Dear Drew, In all of the phases throughout the years you are working with the Texans, what would you describe as the most exciting and how are you feeling now?
DD: I think the current phase—the hiring of DeMeco to now—compares most favorably with the 2011 through 2012 phase in terms of excitement.
The energy and enthusiasm from the fanbase feels similar, although I think the current ceiling is higher because of C.J. Stroud being the quarterback.
