Wolf
100% Texan
Outside linebacker Brian Cushing, the first-round pick who didn't play in preseason because of a sprained knee, should start against the Jets. Zac Diles, who played Cushing's spot in preseason, will move back to the left side and start ahead of Xavier Adibi.
Although Kasey Studdard had a good camp and preseason, Chester Pitts will begin the season as the starter at left guard. Pitts has started every game in team history.
If free safety Eugene Wilson can't play because of a knee injury, Nick Ferguson will start with Dominique Barber.
White for Brown
Kicker Kris Brown will sign his white jersey during a two-hour appearance Monday at the Texans Store at Reliant Stadium. Brown will appear from 5-7 p.m.
The Texans, who will wear all-white uniforms for the Sept. 13 opener against the New York Jets, are encouraging fans to wear all white for the game.
In praise of Okam
Texans coach Gary Kubiak praised defensive tackle Frank Okam for his performance in Friday's 27-20 victory at Tampa Bay.
He really showed up, Kubiak said. He let his teammates know that he wants to be on this team. He played very, very well.
Shaun Cody was moved from the right to left side to play on the nose when Okam and DelJuan Robinson were struggling.
Dreessen to snap
The Texans waived deep snapper Clark Harris because tight end Joel Dreessen also can snap. Rookie James Casey can snap in an emergency.
I have a lot of confidence in Joel, coach Gary Kubiak said.
