We hope you’re having a great final day of 2024.

This day a year ago, the Texans were 8-7 and they faced the Titans at NRG Stadium in the next-to-last game of the regular season. Houston smoked Tennessee, 26-3, and then capped the regular season the next week with a victory at Indianapolis.

Now, the regular season concludes this Sunday with a roadie at Tennessee, and then the Texans will be back at NRG Stadium the following weekend for the Wild Card Playoff game.

Houston welcomed back linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair to practice yesterday. He’d missed the previous three games because of a suspension. Head Coach DeMeco Ryans was glad to have Al-Shaair back in the fold.
