Confirmed as starter Coach David Culley confirmed Monday that Taylor will start at quarterback for the Texans in Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Impact Though last year's starter Deshaun Watson remains on the Texans' 53-man roster, heading into Week 1 he's expected to a healthy scratch on game days. Also in the team's QB mix is rookie Davis Mills, but early on Houston will turn to Taylor to helm what could end up being a run-heavy attack, an approach that's viable considering the presence of a capable backfield headed by Mark Ingram, Phillip Lindsay, David Johnson and Rex Burkhead.
