Shorts caught four of eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

The preseason didn't give us a great indication as to how head coach Bill O'Brien plans to use Shorts and fellow veteran free agent Nate Washington. In the regular season opener, Washington started and got more targets, but the game got out of hand early, forcing the Texans to abandon their preferred game plan. We'll need a few weeks to properly assess Shorts' role within the offense.
