Texans

Texans HC Bill O’Brien announced that S Andre Hal returned to practice on Wednesday, which opens a three-week window of time for him to be activated from the NFI list.

“We activated the 21-day window on him, so he’ll be able to practice with the team,” O’Brien said, via ESPN.com. “At any point in time over the 21-day window we can decide to activate him to the 53-man roster, so we’ll see where he’s at and go from there. That’s great news for [Hal] and for us.”

Hal says he never doubted that he’d resume his NFL career, despite being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma last year.

“I knew I was going to play [again],” Hal said. “I just didn’t know when. That’s why I never stopped coming. I never stopped coming to practice, I never stopped working out. I just had a feeling that I was going to play again.“
