2026 NFL draft: What's the first-round order after the regular season?
While the Houston Texans will play another week, the first 18 picks for the 2026 NFL draft are set in stone after the regular season.
The Houston Texans made a slew of roster moves ahead of their regular-season finale against the Indianapolis Colts.
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has not only led his team to a third-consecutive playoff appearance since being at the helm after their Week 18 win vs. the Indianapolis Colts, but the third-year signal caller made his mark in the NFL history books too.
The Texans' Alijah Huzzie had played just one NFL snap before Sunday, but his teammates all expected big things from him against the Colts. That explained the huge celebration after his interception.
Riley completed 18-of-29 passes for 145 yards and an interception on Dec. 7 in a loss to Jacksonville after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury. The Colts then signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who started three games, all losses.
