The Houston Texans open their 2024 season against the Indianapolis Colts, with wide receiver Nico Collins expected to play a significant role alongside new addition Stefon Diggs. The Las Vegas Raiders have placed defensive end Malcolm Koonce on injured reserve due to a knee injury, sidelining him for at least four games and potentially the entire season. With Koonce out, first-round pick Tyree Wilson will step up against the Los Angeles Chargers, who are also featuring new head coach Jim Harbaugh and returning key players like Justin Herbert and Joey Bosa. The Chargers are focusing on revitalizing their running game with J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to challenge the Raiders. Both teams are looking to establish strong starts in their season openers against divisional rivals.
