Tar Heels in NFL: Heck seizes opportunity in Houston; Stewart on IR; Holcomb on a roll
Posted Oct 14, 2021
It’s been a season of opportunity for former UNC offensive linemen. First, it was New Orleans left tackle James Hurst who broke into the Saints’ starting lineup after an injury to Terron Armstead. Now, it’s Charlie Heck’s turn in Houston. Heck started an NFL game for the first time last week at right tackle in the Texans’ 25-22 victory over New England.
