It's a noncommital approach from Ryans that doesn't really hint one way or another, but reading between the lines, it might not be too shocking to see the Texans watch this year's deadline come and go without making a splash for an impact starter.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans met with the media on Monday morning following the Texans 26-15 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The Ringer's Bill Simmons questioned if DeMeco Ryans is a good coach after the Texans opted to be aggressive with Davis Mills at quarterback instead of playing for overtime.

It's a decision that shows the confidence this Texans unit has in its roster, albeit while falling to 3-5 on the season last week against the Denver Broncos. Instead of going outside of the building to look for that aspired talent, they have all they need for a potential run in-house already.

C.J. Stroud opens up about faith, team unity, and staying grounded after Houston's first win in Baltimore. Full press conference from Week 5. No opponent talk—just self-scout, development, and the plan for the next quarter of the season.

The Houston Texans delivered an emphatic performance against the San Francisco 49ers, sparking strong comments from head coach DeMeco Ryans.

Losing starting quarterback C.J. Stroud after his brutal second-quarter collision with Denver Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine somewhat predictably proved to be a death blow for the Houston Texans.

Last year, DeMeco Ryans said QBs have to "get down" and not slide late. He had a different take on Kris Abrams-Draine's hit on C.J. Stroud.

In addition to QB C.J. Stroud and K Ka'imi Fairbairn, Houston will be without OLs Tytus Howard and Ed Ingram and d DB Jalen Pitre.
