Not all transportation projects are focused solely on vehicles. The Uptown–Memorial Park pedestrian and bike bridge, the Houston Chronicle reported, is also expected to begin construction in 2026, providing a new connection between two heavily used parts of the city.

Houston’s home opponents for 2026 are Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Dallas, the New York Giants and Buffalo. The road opponents will be Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, the Los Angeles Chargers and Green Bay.

Houston’s full 2026 schedule is not out yet, but their opponents are known for next year now that the season is over. The Texans will play eight home games and nine road games. Houston will hope it can improve its offense over the offseason before it takes on this second-place schedule, because its defense is already one of the game’s best.

The addition of Hurst is a reunion for the offensive lineman with head coach Willie Fritz, who signed Hurst to Tulane in the 2022 recruiting class when Fritz was the head man of the Green Wave. Fritz recruited and signed an unranked prospect in Hurst out of Cartersville High School in Cartersville, GA, and now the two are set to reunite in Houston.

Tatsuya Imai, who officially signed with the Houston Astros on Friday, gave the crowd an enthusiastic response when he was shown at the Texans game with agent Scott Boras and owner Jim Crane.

From the Steve Harvey Show to Shaquille O'Neal's endorsement, Daniel and Steven Grandy have always been ready for the big stage.

The Houston Astros missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016 last season despite finishing with an 87-75 record.
