Marvin Harrison Jr. officially a Texan | AFC South roundup

There were no AFC South games on the schedule yesterday, but the division still produced plenty of news. The Houston Texans finalized their biggest move of the year with Marvin Harrison Jr., the Jacksonville Jaguars reinforced their identity as an elite run defense, and the Tennessee Titans remained under the microscope at 0-5.

Houston Texans: Harrison Jr. deal finalized, practice squad moves

Per Pro Football Rumors, the trade sending Marvin Harrison Jr. from Arizona to Houston is now official. The third-year wide receiver passed his Texans physical on Monday and will begin preparing for his Houston debut with the team sitting at 1-4. In return, the Cardinals will receive second- and seventh-round picks in the 2027 draft.

Houston also tweaked its practice squad. According to Pro Football Rumors, the Texans signed quarterback Mark Gronowski and a wide receiver identified only as Bryce in the transaction summary, while defensive lineman Anthony Goodlow was released in Carolina and replaced by Keith Cooper as part of the same league-wide update.

The Texans are additionally listed among the clubs in Pro Football Rumors’ rundown of minor NFL transactions, though the brief summary does not specify Houston’s exact adds or cuts in that batch of moves.

Jacksonville Jaguars: run defense travels to London

At 4-1 atop the division, Jacksonville continues to be tied to the league’s top run defense. Pro Football Rumors notes that the Jaguars bottled up an injury-ravaged Eagles backfield in a 19-17 win in London, with Will Shipley — elevated to the starting role because of injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby — unable to jump-start Philadelphia’s ground game and now set to miss time.

In preparation for the London trip, the Jaguars added a long snapper to their practice squad, per Pro Football Rumors. Former Jacksonville edge rusher Dawuane Smoot, meanwhile, is headed to the New York Giants, who chose to sign him after a workout that also included Yannick Ngakoue and Julian Okwara.

Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts: pressure and positioning

The Tennessee Titans’ 0-5 start has sparked a quarterback debate. CBS Sports asks whether Tennessee should bench former No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward but contends that turning to Mitch Trubisky would not fix an offense averaging just 11.6 points per game or an expensive, revamped defense that has underwhelmed so far.

The Indianapolis Colts (2-3) stayed out of the headline traffic but remain squarely in the chase pack behind Jacksonville. With Houston attempting to jump-start its season around Harrison Jr. and Tennessee searching for any kind of spark, the AFC South remains tightly framed by one clear front-runner and three teams looking for answers.
