Looks like all draft picks but Watt and Carmichael signed now, they will follow soon I suppose.

Today is mainly physicals and meetings isn't it?

All the draft picks have been signed according to the chron.com

........

Reed, 24, is a second-round pick who signed for four years and $4.701 million, including $2.779 guaranteed. He's expected to compete with Connor Barwin for playing time on the strong side. He also could be utilized as an end in passing situations.
........

Harris, 21, was the second pick in the second round. General manager Rick Smith traded to acquire an extra second-round pick to select Harris. Harris signed a four-year contract for $3.299 million, including $1.55 million guaranteed.

Nobody asked me but I'm not sold on Casey at FB.

Looks like Terrance Toliver, Lestar Jean and JJ Watt are making noise in training camp. Also In this report, we hear from Johnathan Joseph, Gary Kubiak and Terrance Toliver (audio included).

Nice job of reporting.

Wow, great reporting from J. Braddock, really getting hyped for this coming season, especially T. Toliver, Defense and Vickers, too. Im hoping the B. Reed thing is just your typical rookie adjustment.

looks like Texans picked up some depth, insurance help at LB this weekend.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...n-tim-dobbins/

Dobbins played for Wade as a rookie in SD in 2006, so I guess he knows what he's getting.

We have a lot of LB on the 90 man roster, guess we shall see who makes it to the final cut.

Heading out there in the morning, cant' wait.

They might be more concerned about Cushing's knee than they're letting on...

Might not be. Saw this on CBS Rapid Reports. Usually they are about 50% accurate.....but Kubes stated as much during his post practice report.

45 minutes ago - by Brandon Williams - LB Cushing (knee) due back soon
LB Brian Cushing (knee) could make his initial appearance on the practice field on Wednesday, but the team -- which has been cautious in his rehab -- could push Cushing's debut to Thursday. Either day still fits the target date coach Gary Kubiak had for the third-year vet. Texans RapidReports

Hey Texan fans, if you want an up-to-date report on what's going on with the Texans, click here as NFL Scout Jayson Braddock shares his observations on both players and coaches as they prepare for their Monday Night game against the Jets (audio included).

Good stuff. Thanks.

Looks like Tate's back on the field:
@HoustonTexans
Houston Texans Coach Kubiak on if RB Ben Tate will play vs. Saints: "Yeah, I hope so...He felt good (today)...He needs to play a little bit."

Foster came back yesterday, Ward will likely be sidelined this week due to concussion rules.

2 up, 1 down, not a real bad trade off.

I fully expect to see the Obi-whatever show in the 2nd half vs. the Saints. Give Foster Q1, Tate Q2, then let the kid run again.

Nconroe · #18 08-18-2011, 11:38 AM

It appears Caldwell and Studdard out a while on OL for high ankle sprains, so , guess we see more of the young guys there.

Wonder if Jonathan Josephs hammy will be good enough to play against the Saints?

Hoping they put some emphasis on kick returns and return coverage this week.

cadams · #19 08-18-2011, 11:39 AM

on forster, i would be fine if he didn't play this weekend again. don't want to risk aggravating that hammy
