It’s been a rough season for me with everything that’s been going on. Like I said, I’m excited to be with the Texans. I played with DeMeco for a few seasons and I can’t wait to get started.” (Aaron Wilson)

Titans

Titans second-round QB Will Levis is preparing as if he’ll play this weekend.

I’m continuing to just prepare as if I was playing, keeping the same mindset regardless of the situation. I’m continuing to work with the [trainers] to get me ready as soon as possible.”
