In the 2017 season he was the backup of all offensive line positions at the beginning. He had to give the job of the starting center back to Nick Martin , who had to sit out the previous season due to an ankle injury. On the second day of the game, however, he was the starting right guard because Jeff Allen was injured on the first day of the game. Mancz showed good performances, which is why Texans head coach Bill O'Brien decided to keep Allens Mancz going in the event of his return. On the third day of play, however, Mancz was injured, after which he was out for several weeks and had to give up his starting job to Allen. On the 13th matchday Mancz was again the starting right guard. On the 16th matchday he started in the center position after Martin was injured again.
