What happened: Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud defended new teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. during his Wednesday press conference, disagreeing with outside criticism surrounding the wide receiver's tenure in Arizona. Stroud praised Harrison's maturity, work ethic, and ability to get open on time as a quarterback-friendly target.

Why it matters: Houston acquired Harrison from the Cardinals to pair the 2024 fourth overall pick with his former Ohio State quarterback. Stroud noted that his pocket-passing timing meshes naturally with Harrison's route running, giving the Texans built-in chemistry as they integrate him into the offense.

What to watch: Harrison is slated to make his Texans debut on Sunday when Houston faces the Jacksonville Jaguars.
