Savage has taken all of the Texans' first-team snaps thus far in training camp, Harry Latham-Coyle of KHOU 11 News reports.
Savage faces competition from rookie first-rounder Deshaun Watson to start at quarterback this season, and although there's optimism that Watson could get playing time early in his career, the veteran looks to have clear leg up at this time. Savage's advanced understanding of the Texans' scheme always figured to give him an early edge, but if he fails to translate that knowledge into dependable production in games, Watson could gain ground in the competition. It'll be interesting to see when Watson gets his chance to work with the starters, but Savage can take confidence from presiding over the offense thus far.
