LOOK: Texans QB C.J. Stroud makes no-look pass during training camp
During Saturday's open practice to the fans, Stroud evaded a pair of defenders to connect with tight end Dalton Schultz for a first-down gain. The no-look pass is what will bring people to social media, but credit to Schultz for making the one-handed grab and completing the play.
Here's a look at the snap below.
Stroud and Schultz are both looking to rebound after setbacks from their breakout 2023 campaigns. Stroud, who won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after throwing for 4,000 yards, only tossed 20 touchdown passes while also throwing a career-high 12 interceptions. Even though his on-field play wasn't perfect, he was still able to guide the Texans to a second division title and playoff victory in the wild-card round.
Schultz, who signed a three-year extension worth $36 million in the offseason, only managed to total two touchdown receptions off 53 catches for 523 yards. His role could expand now with the hiring of Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach and passing-game coordinator Nick Caley as the new offensive coordinator.
The Texans return to practice on Monday. They'll be in Houston through the week before leaving for The Greenbriar in West Virginia next week ahead of their preseason matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

30 Most Important Bears of 2025: Jonah Jackson (No. 24)
The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an exciting 2025 NFL season, which features some new faces within the organization poised to get the franchise back to its winning ways. That starts with the hiring of Ben Johnson as head coach, as well as overhauling the interior offensive line, adding pieces on defense and a potenital impactful rookie draft class. Every day from now right up through training camp, we're counting down our 30 Most Important Bears for the 2025 season. We'll recap their 2024 season, look ahead to 2025 and tackle the biggest question facing them this year. At No. 24 is Jonah Jackson, the team's new starting right guard who is part of the recent overhaul of the offensive line. Background Position: Guard Age: 28 Experience: 6th season 2025 cap hit: $14.75 million 2024 recap It's safe to say the 2024 season did not go as planned for Jackson. After spending four seasons with the Detroit Lions, Jackson inked a lucrative three-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams in the offseason to shore up their offensive line. Jackson wound up shifting positions and was named the starting center for Week 1. He played just two games before exiting due to injury with a broken scapula, missing two months of action. When Jackson was ready to return, the Rams had seemingly moved on without him. Rookie Beaux Limmer had filled in well during Jackson's absence, but head coach Sean McVay gave the veteran a chance to get back on the field. It lasted just one week, as Jackson struggled in his first game back at center and was effectively benched for Limmer. Jackson started just one more game the entire season and became an expensive backup. 2025 outlook With Jackson falling out of favor in Los Angeles, he became a predictable trade target early in the offseason. The Bears swooped in and acquired him for a 2025 sixth-round pick to be their starting right guard. The Bears also added a year to Jackson's deal, keeping him under contract through the 2027 season. This will be Jackson's third different position on the offensive line in three years, which could pose a challenge as he gets reacclimated to playing the right side regularly. He made one start at right guard to end the 2024 season. Jackson's best seasons came with Johnson as his offensive coordinator from their days with the Lions, so hopefully he can return to form as one of the better interior protectors in the conference. Big question: Will Jackson return to his early-career form? The NFL is a "what have you done for me lately?" kind of league, and that question is pertinent for Jackson given his recent history. His tenure with the Rams was a disaster, and they were happy to move off from him for just a Day 3 selection just one year after he signed a multi-year deal. Even more interesting is that the Rams brought back Coleman Shelton to be their starting center instead of trying to work with Jackson again. The sample size is too small to say whether or not Jackson could have been effective last season as a starting guard. He played just 266 snaps all season, a far cry from his usual totals. But he'll need to prove that 2024 was an anomaly and not something that will continue. Johnson obviously believes in Jackson's abilities, and playing next to Drew Dalman and Darnell Wright should allow him to flourish. Jackson just needs to stay healthy.

38 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No.38?
The Houston Texans are less than 40 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the West Coast. Texans Wire will daily inform you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and select the player who best represented the number during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has worn No. 38 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 38 No. 38 currently belongs to no one on the roster entering the preseason. Given where the roster is heading into their first week away from the practice facility, it would be best to assume no one is coming in to take the jersey, either. But who has worn No. 38 in the past for Houston? Best Player: Danieal Manning Faggins was a close call here, but when you have an All-Pro defensive back showing up in the secondary during an important run of history, that's the dealbreaker. After a promising start to his career with the Chicago Bears, Manning inked a four-year deal to join the Texans and return to the Lone Star State in 2011. Over his four seasons, he recorded over 200 tackles, 50 tackles for loss and four interceptions, returning two for touchdowns. While he was released following the 2013 season, Manning returned and still factored into Houston's run back to the playoff success. He's certainly remembered for his time as a player in Chicago, but some will remember the Manning era as one that made Houston a rising team in the AFC.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson believes Texans have a 'Super Bowl-caliber' team
If anyone knows what a championship-caliber roster looks like, it's C.J. Gardner-Johnson. The newest member of the Houston Texans' secondary spent the last three seasons playing in the NFC Championship and a pair of Super Bowls. In 2022, he led the Eagles in interceptions but came up short in the big game against Patrick Mahomes in Glendale. The following season, his Detroit Lions couldn't excute a late-quarter drive against the San Francisco 49ers out west. Last season, after inking a three-year deal to return to Philadelphia, Gardner-Johnson once more impacted the Eagles' defense throughout the regular season, once again helping the NFC East franchise make it to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. The difference? Philly finished the job and then some against Mahomes in the Chiefs for their first title since 2017. All three teams were good enough to hoist up a Lombardi Trophy. So, when asked how good the Texans were entering the new season, Gardner-Johnson made it known there's a championship culture on the sidelines. 'This is a Super Bowl-caliber team,' Gardner-Johnson said of Houston's roster. 'You've got guys who go out there and show it week in, week out.' It's not shocking to hear Gardner-Johnson speak highly of his new team following a trade this offseason. When he arrived in the building back in April, his motto for the season was "championship or nothing," for the team that thought his services were needed. That's the goal for the back-to-back AFC South champs entering Year 3 under DeMeco Ryans and C.J. Stroud. The Texans have won 10-plus games in each of the past two years, but it's accumulated to is pair of divisional round appearances against the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a touchdown-plus loss. Ryans, who played for Houston in its first-ever playoff games, knows what type of talent is needed to make it to the Super Bowl. He coached it in San Francisco before returning to the Texans in 2023, meaning he too believes Gardner-Johnson's impact is much more than just a name on the roster. "You're adding a Pro Bowl, All-Pro caliber player with a Super Bowl pedigree who's done it at a high level and brings others along with him. He's a true leader by example and by talking. He does a really great job of motivating guys, getting guys to go.' Houston's secondary could be the backbone of the roster this fall. Headlined by All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., the Texans' back five have been the talk of training camp after winning most of their one-on-one battles in team drills over the past weeks. It's not just Stingley, who's locked into a long-term deal through 2030 after becoming the highest-paid cornerback this offseason. Second-year cornerback Kamari Lassiter looks more fluid in coverage and physical near the line of scrimmage. Fellow 2024 draft pick Calen Bullock has made at least one "wow" play in practice each day since pads came on last Monday. But Gardner-Johnson could be the spark to take them over the top. Jalen Pitre said one can notice a difference in both attitude and ability in practice with No. 23 joining the roster. "Just to add another guy who's gonna do the same thing is not gonna do anything but continue to uplift us and continue to motivate us. I'm thankful that he's on our team and he's going to continue to motivate, push and inspire all of us, offense and defense. He's for sure a dog."
