The Houston Texans play their home preseason opener against the New York Giants. Here's how to watch today's game.
It's Week 2 of the 2024 NFL preseason and the Houston Texans return home to face the New York Giants this afternoon. Today's game will be the first for Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who is coming off a torn ACL suffered nine months ago. Typically, the second preseason game is when you'll see the starters play the most, so Texans fans will likely get some action from quarterback C.J. Stroud.
