The Texans didn’t practice in pads for the first time since they were allowed, so it was a lot of passing game work and situational work for the team. Here are my observations from the day.
1. A lot has been made of wide receiver Jaelen Strong’s work and preparation this off-season and with good reason. He’s playing the position with a ton of confidence and winning battles with all cornerbacks on this roster. He started off one-on-ones with a tremendous catch on a throw from Brock Osweiler.
2. As an aside, Strong had a diving catch for a touchdown on Saturday’s workout that I failed to mention.
