THE BACKUP WHO JUST STOLE THE SHOW – TEXANS PRESEASON STOCK REPORT
The Texans' final preseason game wasn't about the win – it was about who stepped up when the starters sat. And one backup, Josh Kelly, made a case that's hard to ignore. But the real shocker? A rookie linebacker, Aiden Fisher, racked up 12 tackles, and a defensive end nobody saw coming, Sebastian Harsh, got the only sack. Yet, the quarterbacks? They stumbled. Brett Rypien and Davis Mills both threw picks, leaving the QB room in question. The roster cuts are coming, and this game just made them harder. But what nobody knew was… one play in the fourth quarter might've sealed someone's fate.
This breakdown is spot on – I had no idea Fisher was that good. Full video's here if you're curious: https://geni.us/https-ABCnews
