Cowboys

Texans

• Sarah Barshop of ESPN, citing a source within the Texans, said the team was “never interested” in signing free agent RB Adrian Peterson.
• According to her source, the Texans “never once talked about him” and that any rumored interest was generated by Peterson mentioning Houston as a team he would consider back in January.
