Texans 2012 first-round pick Whitney Mercilus will be the team's starting weak-side outside linebacker in his second year.
It's the primary pass-rushing position in Wade Phillips' defense. Trevardo Williams, Sam Montgomery, and Brooks Reed are competing on the other side. Rather than dropping into coverage, Mercilus' responsibility will be to harass quarterbacks. During his rookie season, Mercilus only made four starts but amassed six sacks and two forced fumbles. He's a breakout candidate.

Texans GM Rick Smith anticipates an "exponential leap" for 2012 first-round pick Whitney Mercilus in year two.
With Connor Barwin a free agent and Brooks Reed potentially moving to inside linebacker, Mercilus is likely to be a starter. "He had 6.5 sacks in limited playtime," said Smith. "But when you look at him production per play, it’s up there. He adds explosiveness, he’s adds pass rush, he adds speed to our defense."

Texans first-round pick Whitney Mercilus racked up two sacks in the team's Week 13 win over the Titans.
After opening the year as a reserve behind Brooks Reed (groin surgery), Mercilus is up to five sacks on the season. Mercilus also recovered a fumble against the Titans and could catch fire down the stretch playing behind LE J.J. Watt. Reed is expected to be sidelined for at least the next 2-3 regular season games.
Sun, Dec 2, 2012 09:10:00 PM
Texans DC Wade Phillips sees a similarity in how first-round OLB Whitney Mercilus' "light is coming on" to J.J. Watt's development last season.
"Whitney's earned more (playing) time," Phillips said, "so we're going to play him more." After learning from the sidelines early in the season, the No. 26 overall pick has racked up three sacks and two forced fumbles in the past two games.

DeVier Posey
Sidelined
Speaking at Texans OTAs Monday, coach Gary Kubiak described WR DeVier Posey's Achilles' rehab as "ahead of schedule."
Kubiak did admit Posey is a candidate to open the season on PUP, although that decision will be made at a much later date. A 2012 third-rounder out of Ohio State, Posey will not be counted on for 2013 impact after a slow rookie year.
