This is a different week, schedule-wise, since the Texans are playing on Monday Night Football.
They were off yesterday, and this afternoon a few players and Head Coach DeMeco Ryans will meet with the media. It's sort of like a Monday after a Sunday afternoon game, in that regard.
There's no practice tomorrow, and then on Thursday, Friday and Saturday they'll go through the typical 3-day practice week, before flying to the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Sunday.
Houston faces the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Arlington that night with a kickoff at 7:15 p.m. CT.
It's the first MNF appearance for the Texans since the 2019 season opener at New Orleans.
Yesterday, the Texans announced defensive lineman Mario Edwards, Jr., who started the first six games of 2024, were granted a 1-game roster exemption. He'd been suspended the previous four contests.
Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle detailed the "5 Things We Learned" from the Sunday-nighter against the Lions.
Tommy Townsend punted five times on Sunday against Detroit, and two of those were downed inside the 20-yard line. He boomed a 62-yarder. Townsend averaged 55 yards per punt, with a 52 net. Today is his birthday.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, lost on Sunday at home to the Eagles. With Dak Prescott done for the year, Cooper Rush started at quarterback. Apparently, he'll do so again on Monday Night Football versus the Texans.
