Aireontae Ersery is ready to see the new-looked Houston Texans<\/a> offensive line in action.<\/p>\n

Ersery, the second-year left tackle in Houston, recently spoke about the revamped Texans’ offense entering 2026 at the Rockets’ game on Friday night. Since last season, Houston elected to re-sign right guard Ed Ingram and right tackle Trent Brown after promising work amid a 12-win campaign.<\/p>\n

But the Texans weren’t done. They targeted right tackle Braden Smith<\/a> from the Indianapolis Colts on a two-year deal to shore up the right side of the line. A week later, three-time Pro Bowler Wyatt Teller <\/a>from Cleveland agreed to terms on a two-year deal to start at left guard.<\/p>\n

The moves might be massive on paper, but everything is about consistency on the field, something Ersey expects to see with his new teammates no later than Week 1.<\/p>\n

“We’re mixing with the guys that came in; they’re a good group of guys,” Ersery said. “They’re a great group of men. They’re very talented. I can’t wait to see what they do this season.”<\/p>\n

Last season, Houston struggled to produce an efficient run game, which seemed to be a priority for general manager Nick Caserio and head coach DeMeco Ryans this offseason. Smith and Teller both were regarded as two of the better run-blocking linemen over the years, while Ingram came in as the top run blocker for Houston a season ago.<\/p>\n

Ersery, who was a promising lineman in Year 1, will need to improve, but he’s ready for the added expectations to come with now better help on the opposing side for 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n
