HOUSTON – The Texans named rookie defensive end Will Anderson Jr. as a team captain Friday along with veteran wide receiver Robert Woods and cornerback Steven Nelson. This was voted on by players and coaches.
A first-round draft pick from Alabama, Anderson had one sack and six pressures during the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
