93 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 93?
The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 93 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 93 No. 93 currently belongs to Kurt Hinish, who's back on a one-year deal after missing chunks of last season due to injury. He's been a solid depth piece since joining Houston as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in 2022, but he's not the best player to don the number in the last 20 years. DL Kurt Hinish (2022-present) DL Jaleel Johnson (2021) DL Joel Heath (2016-2019) DL Jared Crick (2012-2015) DL Tim Bulman (2007-2009, 2011) DE Jason Babin (2004-2006) LB Kevin DeRonde (2003) DL Erick Flowers (2002) Best Player: Jason Babin Babin might be better known for his time in Seattle or Philadelphia, but he kick-started his success as a pass-rusher in Houston. The former first-round pick notched 13 sacks and 25 tackles for loss before being shipped off to the Seahawks in 2007. Babin's breakout year in Tennessee with 12.5 sacks eventually led to a megadeal with the Eagles on a five-year contract. He terrorized the Texans during his brief stay in Nashville, but he'll always be remembered -- at least for the time being -- as the best player to wear No. 93.

Former Notre Dame star remains with NFL team
Former Notre Dame star Kurt Hinish is remaining with the Houston Texans. The defensive tackle has re-signed with Houston on a one-year, $1.8-million dollar contract. The contract's maximum value is $2.35 million. Houston decided not to tender Hinish, who had 12 tackles in 10 games last year, instead re-signing him for less money than the tender amount.
