7/27/24 | Texans training camp: Ben Skowronek continues to fight for role on roster. When the Texans traded for Rams receiver Ben Skowronek, nothing was promised regarding his long-term role. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans mentioned during OTAs that adding the former seventh-round pick was made to elevate the level of competition in practice. Fast forward a week into training camp and Skowronek might no longer be competing for a spot on the 53-man roster, especially since he adds value on special teams. “Skowronek does a great job when it comes to special teams, does a great job of communicating,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Saturday.

7/22/24 | 28 Notes about Training Camp, Day 4. 15. I thought that WR Ben Skowronek had a strong day. A few reps later, QB Tim Boyle looked as if he was throwing a back-shoulder ball to Skowronek up the far sideline. The ball got away from Boyle a bit, but Skowronek did a masterful job of going up for the rebound and snatching the ball at a high point for the catch. Then, later in the final team period of the day, QB Case Keenum worked himself up into the pocket due to a little pressure and ripped one to Skowronek who kept working to find an open spot for his QB.

5/13/24 | Why the Texans traded for versatile Ben Skowronek: 'True competitor, physicality, playmaking ability'. There were a lot of reasons why the Texans executed their trade for wide receiver Ben Skowronek. Once it became clear the Los Angeles Rams were going to release the former seventh-round draft pick from Notre Dame, the Texans acquired Skowronek and a 2026 seventh round selection from the Rams in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick. It came back to his size and toughness at 6-foot-3, 224 pounds, ability to block at fullback or downfield at wide receiver and ability to catch.
