Texans Fall 0-4, Reportedly Discuss Harrison Trade

The Houston Texans are 0-4 after four close losses, including a 34-30 defeat to Dallas, but C.J. Stroud has played efficiently, crediting improved pass protection and receivers’ ability to separate while saying he needs to improve on third downs and in the red zone. Houston’s offense has scored more effectively with Nico Collins available, while injuries and inconsistency have exposed the team’s lack of depth at receiver. Tank Dell could return in the coming weeks, and Kayshon Boutte has earned Stroud’s trust. The Texans are also reportedly discussing a trade for Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.; his youth and fit with Stroud are appealing, though his early-season production and the team’s winless start make the move a risk. Houston faces long odds to reach the playoffs after an 0-4 start and needs to turn its close losses into wins quickly.
