If he can't unseat June as the starter by December, I imagine we'll be drafting a WILL next season (Weatherspoon, please?).

As for Diles, he's a backup LB at perhaps all 3 positions. That's valuable to the team because injuries do happen. It is fair to give him a shot at the WILL since that is position that is up in the air. I just don't imagine that he'll beat out June. However, he could cause Adibi's departure to happen sooner. That would allow Chaun Thompson to stay on the roster as a pass-rushing LB.
I think it's June who will have to unseat Adibi. That very well could happen, but you would have to think the Texans preference is for Adibi to be able to win that job. I would think that Adibi is penciled in as the starter right now.
