Texans' Jerry Hughes: Highlights defense Thursday
Jerry Hughes started at defensive end and saw his first action of the preseason in Thursday's game against the 49ers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.The 34-year-old Hughes, who signed with Houston during the offseason after a nine-year career in Buffalo, was dominant while in the game. He hounded quarterback Trey Lance on the first drive, forcing an incompletion on third-and-17. He later made life difficult for San Francisco, making three consecutive plays to scuttle a drive, including sealing off a running lane on fourth-and-2, leading to a stop of running back Trey Sermon. Hughes and Jonathan Greenard are expected to be the starting edge rushers, which should help a unit that ranked fifth-lowest in the league last year in quarterback pressures (20.7%), per Pro Football Reference.
