Before we get to our AFC South news roundup where we check in on the Tennessee Titans’ division rivals — the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars — we here at Titans Wire want to offer a very happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there; you’re the real MVPs.
Now, on to football: In Jacksonville, the Jaguars are trying to figure out where they’re going to play with the team set to renovate its stadium, a process that is expected to take a few years.
Meanwhile, in Houston, the team’s No. 2 overall pick and new franchise quarterback did not speak to the media during rookie minicamp, which amounts to a departure from what the team has done in the past.
And, last but not least, the Colts want the NFL to investigate at least one team reaching out to retired quarterback, Andrew Luck.
We cover those stories and much, much more below.

Per usual, Colin Cowherd is firing off a red-hot take that will likely turn into an ice-cold one down the line, as he’s picking the Jaguars to be the AFC’s No. 1 seed in 2023. I think the Jags will be good this year, but let’s calm down a bit.

![](https://titanswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/43/2023/05/USATSI_20557440.jpg)
Texans Wire’s Mark Lane believes Houston is worthy of prime-time games in 2023. He kind of has a point seeing as how the Texans have the Nos. 2 and 3 picks from this year’s draft, including a new quarterback, and a promising new head coach in DeMeco Ryans.

The Texans’ shiny new toy under center did not speak at rookie minicamp, which I find to be a bit odd considering he’s the new face of the franchise. Lane goes into detail about how that’s a departure from years past.
To compare, the Titans had their rookie quarterback, Will Levis, speak to the media on Saturday after Day 2 of rookie minicamp.
