Regardless of the events that led to the current situation or who is to blame for any or all of it, Texans fans should be livid over the fact that the team is paying Deshaun Watson franchise QB money and he's not playing for the team.

Sure, social media is a toxic pit that is a waste of time at best and a day-ruining nightmare at worst, but then you get takes like this on Davis Mills' neck and you remember the whole thing is worth it. twitter.com/HenryMikulski/…

The #Texans officially elevated K Joey Slye, QB Jeff Driskel, and WR Chris Moore to the active roster. Driskel will be the backup QB tonight.

Anthony Miller is a name to watch tonight. He's making his Houston debut and the Texans are missing Nico Collins and Danny Amendola.

The engine for the Carolina Panthers’ offense is running back Christian McCaffrey. Everyone knows that.

Not everyone can stop him, and that is a reality Houston Texans defensive coordinator Lovie Smith has had to confront on a short week as his team gets ready to play the Panthers Thursday night for Week 3 at NRG Stadium.

“He’s tough duty,” said Smith. “As a receiver when he’s catching the football, whether out of the back field, splitting him out as a wide receiver, they do a great job of putting him in different spots getting the ball to him. But he’s a running back and of course he can make you miss in the open field, run in between the tackles.â€

Andre Roberts fumbled another punt but Texans recovered it. That's two in two games. He's too experienced to have this problem. He was signed to help the offense with field position, not hinder it.

The major story heading into Thursday night’s primetime showcase was how stingy the Carolina Panthers defense has been. And, to their credit, they kept on with that stinginess, until quarterback Davis Mills woke up.

With a minute and 37 seconds remaining in the first half, Mills drove the Houston Texans into the end zone on a seven-play, 64-yard romp. The scoring drive, which took just a minute and 12 seconds, ended with a sharp 1-yard completion to wideout Anthony Miller.

Houston Texans defensive end Whitney Mercilus was able to get his 56th career sack by dropping Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold Thursday night at NRG Stadium.

Mercilus knew that getting a sack of the former New York Jets 2018 first-round pick would be difficult given how successful Carolina’s offensive line has been through the first two games at keeping Darnold upright

Cameron Johnston must not be used to punting in opponent's territory. (Unless it's overtime, of course...)

I think I hear some chants, "We want Jeff! We want Jeff!" Must be Jeff Driskel's neighbors. Texans have 44 yards.

The Houston Texans take on the Carolian Panthers at NRG Stadium on Thursday Night Football. Carolina got the ball first and had a chance to put points on the board. Here is the first quarter recap.

Panthers 1st drive (3 plays, 7 yards, 0:58): The Texans actually held Carolina to a three-and-out after the Panthers initially gained seven yards on first down. CB Vernon Hargreaves had a nice pass breakup on third-and-3.

Texans 1st drive (3 plays, 4 yards, 1:26): WR Brandin Cooks took a reverse for five yards. However, RB Mark Ingram was dropped for a 1-yard loss on a second-down screen. Defensive end Brian Burns batted QB Davis Mills’ quick out for Cooks on third down

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans are expected to elevate receiver Chris Moore from the practice squad ahead of Thursday’s match against the 2-0 Carolina Panthers.

Moore, 28, will be added to the Texans’ active roster following the injuries to wide receivers Nico Collins (shoulder) and Danny Amendola (hamstring). In addition to Moore, the Texans are anticipating the debut of Anthony Miller, who missed the previous two games to continue recovering from a shoulder injury he sustained during preseason.

Moore began his career in Baltimore after the Raven selected the Cincinnati alumni in the 4th round (No. 107th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. Prior to joining the Texans, Moore had spent his entire career with the Ravens, where he recorded 511 yards on 47 catches and four touchdowns

Rhule wanted a PI flag on Vernon Hargreaves on DJ Moore on that one. Didn't get it. Panthers go three-and-out. And then a short punt by Charlton.

This slipped my mind earlier when the Texans' inactives list came out, but Houston has all 5 of its RBs active for tonight. Scottie Phillips was inactive for the first two games.

Down 7-0 with 1:37 left in the first half, Texans have the ball at their 36. If I'm OC Tim Kelly, I'm going deep on three plays in a row. Why not? Nothing else is working.
