Despite all the rumors and reports, the Houston Texans never hesitated to take C.J. Stroud in the NFL Draft.

The Ohio State product was ranked as the second-best quarterback in his class by most experts, and the Texans trusted him to be the right guy to lead the post-Deshaun Watson era.

That’s why HC DeMeco Ryans wants to give his young star as many reps as he can handle, naming him the starter — again — for their second preseason game, this time versus the Miami Dolphins (via Ari Meirov).

Meirov reports that the Texans have yet to make an announcement regarding their Week 1 starter for their game against the Baltimore Ravens, but barring a major turn of events, Stroud should be under center for that matchup.

Stroud wasn’t exactly impressive in his first preseason action, but his offensive line didn’t do him any favors.

He was running for his life as soon as he set foot on the field, but his interception came due to poor decision-making.

Even as a starter, he’s not likely to be on the field for long versus Miami, as the team will look to keep him safe for the season.

Some believe he’d be better off if they started Davis Mills over him while he continues to get a hold of the offense and gets ready to do his thing.

But with the Texans not in a rush to compete at a high level, perhaps the best way to develop him is by actually having him on the field right out of the gate.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
