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.

Chris Newton: Dear Drew, Who are we adding at cornerback?
DD: The Texans made some roster moves Wednesday morning, and signed linebacker Rashad Weaver from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

At corner, though, Jeff Okudah went on injured reserve. SO cornerbacks Desmond King and Troy Pride were signed to the practice squad.

King was with the team throughout training camp, as was Pride. King's in his eighth NFL season, and this is now his fourth year on the Texans.

Manuel Aguillon: Dear Drew, When will the Texans wear the new H-Town Blue jerseys? We're dying to see them?
DD: Before I get into that, a friendly reminder to everyone attending Sunday night's home opener against Chicago: PLEASE BE THERE EARLY AND WEAR WHITE.

We already know that if you're there, you're loud. NRG Stadium quakes when it's full, and full for a big game. But please get there well ahead of kickoff and wearing white.

Against the Buffalo Bills in the Reppin' H-Town presented by Bud Light game, Houston will wear the Color Rush jerseys that have the H-Town blue accents in them. Like you, I can't wait to see them as well. They'll look razor sharp.

David Saenz: Dear Drew, Why didn't the Texans attempt a field goal with 5 seconds left before the first half at Indianapolis?
DD: It was a confusing situation for a variety of reasons. Ultimately, though, when it all got "sorted out", the officials wound the clock with just 5 seconds left in the half, and the Texans thought they had 15 ticks remaining, and one more shot at the end zone.

That wasn't the case.

"Week 1, everybody's rusty," quarterback C.J. Stroud said. "So, I'm rusty. We are rusty as a whole. I think the officials told us one thing, but we got another. It's up to us to really make the situation – my job. I've got to be better right there. That's something we can definitely learn from. I don't think that it's the end of the world, but those points could have cost us. We definitely have got to be better."

***It's a really good question, David. Such a good question, in fact, that you're this week's winner of Texas Lottery Scratchoffs. Someone from the organization will soon be in contact with you about it.***

Julian Guerrero: Dear Drew, Who is TORO's biggest rival?
DD: That's a tough one. But he and Blue from the Indianapolis Colts have definitely mixed it up over the years.

Blue does a good job, though. He has a fun skit every game where he throws footballs from the concours into a big tub on the field. Kind of a "Dude Perfect" trick shot routine.

Plus, who can forget his reaction in a Santa Claus outfit to Lamar Miller's touchdown run a few years back?

Joshua Armendariz: Dear Drew, What would be your perfect seat in the Super Bowl? What section?
DD: Easy answer: somewhere in the press box!
