DeVier Posey had one catch for 16 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Posey shared No. 2 wideout duties with Kevin Walker, but was only targeted twice in the passing game. He'll finish an underwhelming rookie season with six receptions and 87 yards in 11 games (two starts). The Texans' lack of a legitimate receiver behind Andre Johnson is a concern going into the postseason.

Texans rookie WR DeVier Posey shared No. 2 wideout duties with Kevin Walter in Sunday's win over the Colts. The Texans are finally realizing that if Walter isn't blocking for a running back, he's hurting the team. Posey ended up with three catches for 46 yards on three targets while Walter had two catches for 11 yards on two targets. "What has taken place over the period of the last month is a young player who has really stepped up, so we're going to give him more opportunities to help us," coach Gary Kubiak said.

Texans declared WR DeVier Posey, QB John Beck, CB Roc Carmichael, CB Brandon Harris, LB Bryan Braman, T Andrew Gardner and G Brandon Brooks inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Texans third-round pick DeVier Posey has yet to catch a pass through two preseason games. Posey was one of the rawest players on the field during spring practices, and he's continued to develop slowly in camp and preseason games. Coach Gary Kubiak confirmed that Posey is on the third-team offense: "I just think that it has taken him a little bit more time to get going with the offense, so to speak."

Coach Gary Kubiak cited inconsistency when asked about third-round WR DeVier Posey. Posey has been getting a few first-team reps while Andre Johnson (groin) rehabs. "Up and down. Very talented," Kubaik said. "He's got a chance to help this team. He's got to grow real, real fast." So far, it looks like Posey remains behind Lestar Jean and Keshawn Martin on the depth chart.

Texans agreed to terms with No. 68 overall pick WR DeVier Posey on a four-year contact. Posey drew mixed reviews during the Texans' offseason program, but is still expected to have a role in the offense as a rookie. He's behind fellow rookies Lestar Jean and Keshawn Martin in the competition for No. 3 receiver duties, however. Posey was suspended for all but three games of his senior season at Ohio State. He's off-the-radar in redraft leagues.

A source tells Pro Football Weekly that neither of the wide receivers the Texans selected in April's draft, third-rounder DeVier Posey or fourth-rounder Keshawn Martin, stood out in OTAs. Posey is rough around the edges after missing all but three game during his senior season due to suspension. The source contradicts coach Gary Kubiak, who said Martin was "exceptional" during OTAs. Lestar Jean appears to be the favorite for No. 3 wide receiver duties, but there's a long way to go.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak indicated again Wednesday that third-round pick DeVier Posey is a work in progress. Kubiak likes Posey's talent, but already questioned his conditioning once and has reportedly "hollered at" the rookie more than any player during pre-training camp workouts. "He's inconsistent," Kubiak said of Posey. "He missed a year of football, which you can tell. ... We have to get him caught up."

Coach Gary Kubiak has been "hollering at" third-round WR DeVier Posey as much as any player during OTAs. "I know how much he has to help this football team this year," said Kubiak. "He missed a lot of football last year, and that puts him behind. But talent-wise, he can help us." Posey appears to be behind Lestar Jean and fourth-rounder Keshawn Martin early in the race for the No. 3 receiver role.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak cited conditioning as third-round pick DeVier Posey's biggest challenge so far at OTAs. It's worth noting that Posey appeared in just three games as a college senior due to suspensions, so he hasn't played a whole lot of football lately. "All these young guys need to get to where you can go all day in this Texas heat," Kubiak explained. "They think they're okay until they get down here. When that gets better, (Posey's) talents will continue to take over."
