In order for the Houston Texans to complete the rebuild, it will take their younger players taking command of starting jobs sooner than later.
One tandem that spent time after the first day of training camp practice at Houston Methodist Training Center was first-round quarterback C.J. Stroud and second-round center Juice Scruggs.
According to video from the Texans Wire’s Brian Barefield, Stroud and Scruggs were working on their quarterback-center snap exchange after practice.
Just as Stroud is going against third-year quarterback Davis Mills for the starting job, so too is Scruggs in a battle with veterans for the starting job in the middle of Houston’s offensive line. Michael Deiter, Jimmy Morrissey, and incumbent Scott Quessenberry figure to give Scruggs a challenge.
