5 takeaways from Texans training camp Day 19

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans held their 17th practice on the 19th day of camp at Houston Methodist Training Center. Wednesday morning will likely serve as the Texans’ final padded practice ahead of their preseason match against the Dallas Cowboys — the second of three exhibition games.

After Davis Mills ended the day under center during the Texans’ two-minute drill, the rookie quarterback from Stanford may receive a bulk of the offensive snaps at AT&T Stadium Saturday night.

“From day one, the guy has been great,” offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said. “He’s really smart, so he knows what everyone should be doing. He is able to articulate the play calls, and has done a great job in the huddle with his communication.”

Here are five observations from the Texans’ practice.
