There were no AFC South games on the schedule yesterday, but it was still a busy day in the division, especially in Houston and Indianapolis. The Texans are gearing up to finally plug Marvin Harrison Jr. into their offense, while the Colts made a swift move at wide receiver.
Houston Texans: spotlight on Marvin Harrison Jr.
CBS Sports reports that Marvin Harrison Jr. is set to make his debut with the Houston Texans, reuniting with his former Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud. After a quiet start to his second NFL season in Arizona, Harrison now turns the page and begins a new chapter in Houston.
Expectations are already high. In its Week 6 bold predictions, CBS Sports projects a standout first performance from Harrison Jr. in a Texans uniform. In a separate betting piece, CBS Sports also backs Stroud and Houston to "shine" against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London and potentially pull an upset. At 1-4, the Texans badly need that kind of result against the division leaders to revive their season.
Indianapolis Colts: Darius Slayton era ends before it starts
For the Indianapolis Colts (2-3), Darius Slayton’s stint with the team barely got off the ground. According to Pro Football Rumors, the Colts released the veteran wide receiver on Friday via a team announcement, and he never logged a single snap for the club. Slayton, 29, had signed in Week 3 after Alec Pierce went on injured reserve with a heel injury, filling a downfield role that never materialized.
Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans quiet for now
The Jacksonville Jaguars still control the division at 4-1. They’ll be in the spotlight in Week 6, with CBS Sports positioning the Texans as live underdogs against them in London. Beyond that betting angle, there were no major new developments reported around Jacksonville in the last 24 hours.
The Tennessee Titans remain winless at 0-5 and stayed out of the headlines as well. Their struggles continue to shape the bottom of the AFC South, where Jacksonville leads, followed by Indianapolis, Houston, and Tennessee.
