Texans G Ed Ingram: We're doing a complete 180 on the offensive line

Article text

There wasn't a lot to like about the Texans' offensive line play in 2025, but right guard Ed Ingram was able to do some good work for the team. Ingram was acquired in a trade with the Vikings and played well enough to earn a three-year extension this offseason. That sets him up to be a holdover on a line that added likely starters at left guard and right tackle — Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith in free agency before drafting center Keylan Rutledge in the first round. Houston also signed guard Evan Brown and drafted Febechi Nwaiwu in the fourth round to add more depth to a group that Ingram believes came together nicely under position coach Cole Popovich during the offseason program. “The offensive line, we have gelled together quite well ,” Ingram said, via Aaron Wilson of KPRC. “I feel like Pop has got a good group of guys in a room together. We are all like-minded and all have one common goal, which is just showing each and everybody that the line here, that it’s changed. We’re doing a complete 180, and we’re a different line, we’re a different unit, and that the team can rely on us to run behind us, block for C.J. and we’re going to have a great year.” Optimism in the offense has been high all around the Texans this offseason and the team will get every chance to prove it is a better unit come September.
