Latest news from Texans camp

The passing attack was centered around the quick game time to throw on Day 2 of practice. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was quick and decisive with his throws with all but one of his throws being made under 2.8 seconds, and his only rep over three seconds was when he extended the play and tried to find wideout Jayden Higgins in the back of the end zone.
It fell incomplete, but the majority of his throws came with precision and decisiveness. Stroud was able to connect a few times with Higgins, who's development in Year 2 will be huge for the offense.
Other observation:
Backup cornerback Alijah Huzzie was able to make a nice interception off of backup QB Davis Mills -- where took the ball away from the intended receiver.

The Texans were more forthcoming regarding contract discussions than normal. General manager Nick Caserio said there's a "possibility" the team and quarterback C.J. Stroud can reach a contract extension. Stroud isn't focused much on contract discussions; he's letting his agent handle it as he is "keeping the main thing the main thing."
Stroud is going into Year 4 and is eligible for an extension for the first time in his career. Coach DeMeco Ryans said he doesn't get into a lot of deep discussions with guys when it comes to contract situations.
But he added, "I truly believe you get the contract by what you do on the field. It doesn't matter what you say, what I say. It's about how you perform on the field, and if you're worthy of getting a contract and you deserve it, it'll happen for you."
Other observation:
CB Kamari Lassiter intercepted Stroud with a diving catch and then punted the ball in celebration. That was the most exciting play on a relatively quiet morning.
