Training Camp rolls on for the Texans, but in Ohio.
After their Hall of Fame game last Thursday in Canton, the team stayed in the Cleveland area. They practiced lightly on Saturday morning and then attended Andre Johnson's enshrinement that afternoon. A Sunday off followed, and they practiced yesterday and today, and will go again tomorrow at Nick Caserio's alma mater, University School. The high school has been the home base for the Texans this week as they prep for the Friday-nighter in Pittsburgh against the Steelers.

Quarterback Case Keenum was a teammate of wide receiver Stefon Diggs in Minnesota. The duo teamed up in 2017 with the Vikings, and the former turned in a career year.
