What happened: Houston gave Marvin Harrison Jr. 10 snaps in his first game with the club during the 34-31 win against Jacksonville. One-quarter of those snaps earned positive grades.

Why it matters: Houston entered the week averaging 270.2 passing yards per game, fourth best in the league. Added depth behind Nico Collins, who posted 1,117 yards and six touchdowns across 15 games in 2025, gives the unit more options against split coverages.

By the numbers: 10 snaps in debut; 25% positively graded; 270.2 passing yards per game, 4th in NFL; Collins: 1,117 yards, 6 TD in 15 games in 2025.

What to watch: Houston's receiver rotation gets another full practice week before its next regular-season test.
