Houston Texans linebacker Denzel Perryman procured the defense’s first takeaway of the preseason.
On first-and-10 from the Miami Dolphins’ 17-yard line, Perryman picked off quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and returned the takeaway to the Miami 7-yard line.
The interception was part of what Perryman spoke of earlier in the week about how the linebackers in the room, regardless of age and experience, learn from one another.
“We all learn from each other and just build each other up, man,” Perryman said Aug. 14.
Perryman also had a sack the week prior in the 20-9 win over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
