He will have to continue to work on play strength, along with his play against the pass downfield, but Lassiter will have the chance to play early in his career. The Texans are no longer the rebuilding team we have become accustomed to in recent years. This team has its eyes set on a deep playoff run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Okudah posted 44 tackles with the Falcons before signing a one-year deal worth $4.75 million with the Texans this offseason. But, Houston making such a strong investment in Lassiter might be a clear indication that Okudah\u2019s job might already be on the line before even playing a snap this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Houston Texans added one of the top cornerbacks in a loaded draft class at the position, over the weekend, which could start the clock ticking on one&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":115993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-115992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115992"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115994,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115992\/revisions\/115994"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nbahang.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
