The Houston Texans signed Bruce Ellington on Friday following a string of injuries at the wide receiver position. Will Fuller, DeAndrew White and Braxton Miller have all suffered injuries of varying degrees of severity recently, Dres Anderson, and the slew of existing young pass catchers on the roster did little to catch the eye in the preseason opener.

Ellington, is a speedy slot receiver drafted in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft after playing both basketball and football at South Carolina. He impressed with the Gamecocks with his ability to get open and make catches as a reliable target over the middle. He showed prowess in the return game, 5-foot-9, 197 pounds, too. Ellington averages 7.7 yards per punt return and has been a solid kick returner at the NFL level,Authentic Wayne Gallman Jersey, and may be expected to compete for these roles in Houston

Ellington has just 19 catches in his career, but each team operates this process differently so this does not mean he will not be able to sign with Houston,Womens Mark Herzlich Jersey, all with the San Francisco 49ers in his first two seasons. He was in line for a greater role offensively last year but suffered a severe season-ending hamstring injury. He failed a physical with the New York Jets after being claimed off waivers last week, who have a roster spot open after tackle Terry Poole failed his physical last week.

Bruce Ellington should provide a boost to a Texans wide receiver group lacking in NFL experience and real speed. The state of his injury is unknown, but if he passes his physical and gets healthy he should be a strong candidate for a roster spot come early September.

Rookie QB Watson shines in Texans’ 27-17 loss to Panthers

Deshaun Watson reminded everyone why Panthers coach Ron Rivera — and many others — felt he should have won the Heisman Trophy last season.

Watson shined in his NFL preseason debut,Womens Joe Namath Jersey, completing 15 of 25 passes for 179 yards and running for a score in the Houston Texans’ 27-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday night.

Watson, who led Clemson to the ACC championship on this field last December en route to winning the national championship,Authentic Jamal Adams Jersey, received a rousing ovation from Tigers fans dressed in orange when he entered the game in the second quarter.

The cheers grew louder when Watson outran two defenders for a 15-yard touchdown — although Panthers fans tried to cover the celebration with boos.

“It was good just to get my feet wet,” said Watson, who was pleased with his overall effort.

Houston’s first-round draft pick looked comfortable in the pocket, stepping up to avoid pressure and getting rid of the football in a timely manner. He didn’t let penalties on his team affect him and didn’t turn the ball over in nearly three quarters of play.

“He’s a smart player, an instinctive player,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said.

“For the first game out there I thought he did some good things. That’s a big jump from college to the NFL and I thought he handled it pretty well.”

Tom Savage went three-and-out on his first two possessions against Carolina’s first-team defense. Savage had better luck with Carolina’s starters out of the game, completing 8 of 8 passes for 67 yards on his final drive capped by a 16-yard TD run by Alfred Blue.

But it was a strong showing for Carolina’s defensive starters.

“We put ourselves in good third down situations and we were able to execute and get off the field, the first half,Womens Wayne Gallman Jersey,” Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis said. “Overall, the ones definitely had a good showing.”

Panthers veteran backup Derek Anderson looked sharp starting in place of Cam Newton,Authentic Mark Herzlich Jersey, who’s still resting a sore right shoulder.

Anderson completed 4 of 5 passes for 76 yards,Authentic Joe Namath Jersey, including a 23-yard touchdown pass to Kelvin Benjamin to finish with a perfect 158.3 QB rating.

The 6-foot-5 Benjamin,Authentic Eric Decker Jersey, who reported to training camp in good shape after being overweight in the spring, made a leaping grab in the corner of the end zone to give Carolina the early 7-0 lead.

“I am feeling good again,Womens Eric Decker Jersey,” Benjamin said. “I am ready to get Cam (Newton) back out there so we can rebuild that chemistry.”

Texans: “I’m so happy to be back with my guys,Womens Jamal Adams Jersey,” Watt said of his return. “It’s so much fun in my D-line room and being back out there with my teammates. That’s where I belong.”

Panthers: “It means a lot,” Byrd said after the first of his two TD catches. “It’s a dream of everybody’s to be able to play for an organization as great as this in the NFL.”
