What's new for 2018

[Arky]

About a day late but:

Texans move on from assistants Larry Izzo, John Butler, Charles London

"It was too inconsistent," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said of the special teams Monday shortly before Izzo was dismissed. "We have to look at it schematically, we have to look at it from a coaching standpoint. We've got to look at every facet of special teams because in order for us to get to where we get to, we have to improve that area. We've got to be better on special teams."

Texans' wide receiver Will Fuller to have minor knee surgery

Fuller was injured three times last season, missing most of training camp, all of preseason and six starts. The first-round pick in 2016 finished with 26 receptions for 406 yards and seven touchdowns.

Texans expect Romeo Crennel to return

If Vrabel leaves to become a head coach as he's being sought after by the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions for jobs and O'Brien remains in place in Houston, the Texans' in-house candidates to replace him include Crennel, if he's interested in resuming those duties, and secondary coach John Butler.
