The Houston Texans released their first unofficial depth chart of the preseason on August 5. 

No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney is listed as the starter at outside linebacker. Second-round pick Xavier Su'a-Filo will begin the preseason with the second string at left guard. Fourth-round Pitt product Tom Savage is listed behind both newly-signed Ryan Fitzpatrick and Case Keenum, who started eight games last year, at quarterback. 

Injured linebacker Brian Cushing is listed as "other" on the current depth chart, but he will be a starter when healthy.
