Only right guard Ed Ingram and right tackle Tytus Howard were listed in positive territory. Ingram was rightly listed as the Texans&#8217; best player on the line after posting a league-leading 88.1 run-blocking grade to begin the regular season. Albeit his pass-blocking grade of 61.1 is underwhelming, it&#8217;s still a passable grade.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Texans kick off at 9 p.m. on Monday at Lumen Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The offensive line remains the biggest question mark for the Houston Texans entering Week 7, but it is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[33,56,58,57,9268,9269,44,9270,9271,9274,4588,9275,1593,1576,2619,217,9273,1584,3054,46,9272,36],"class_list":{"0":"post-10296","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-houston","10":"tag-houston-headlines","11":"tag-houston-news","12":"tag-sstssportsnfltexans","13":"tag-sstsntexans","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagbatman-returns","16":"tag-tagbrian-oneill","17":"tag-taged-ingram","18":"tag-taghouston-texans","19":"tag-tagminnesota-vikings","20":"tag-tagnational-sports","21":"tag-tagnfl","22":"tag-tagnfl-hub","23":"tag-tagoverall-negative","24":"tag-tagryan-kelly","25":"tag-tagseattle-seahawks","26":"tag-tagsport-scores-statistics","27":"tag-tagsports-news","28":"tag-tagtytus-howard","29":"tag-typestory"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
