The Texans have also been without tackles Derek Newton (hamstring) and Duane Brown (quadriceps) during training camp. “It’s always good to have your team as close to full strength as possible”.
The Houston Texans defensive end and three-time National Football League defensive player of the year will be activated by the Texans as he’s made a “speedy recovery” from surgery to fix a herniated disk, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle said.

“It’s like night and day”, he said of the progress he has made in the last month. “I’m going to do everything I can”.
