Official Texans @ Packers Fake Game Thread, 8/8/2019

[Arky]

The Texans are up in Wisconsin preparing for a Thursday's televised scrimmage against the Packers. Should be a good look at some of the new Texans - AJ McCarron, Matt Kalil, draftees, etc....

For the seriously depraved, the Packers are favored by 1 to 2½.

Start time = 7 pm CST

TV = Most likely ABC (Channel 13 local)

For NFL junkies, there is also televised games on Friday and Saturday night this week.....

The game will be replayed Friday morning on the NFL Network although it may be the Packers broadcasters.

The only guys I know well are likely to be on the sidelines after the first quarter. The rest will be scrub city.

McCarron is injured, right?

Kind of a bummer since he was going to be a big reason why to watch this preseason.

Chronicle is reporting a thumb injury with McCarron who will miss part of the preseason. I've heard new signee QB Jordan Ta'amu might see playing time tonight....

D'onta Foreman has signed with the Colts.
