Preseason Slate Announced

[WMH]

If they get thier shit done.....preseason schedule would be as follows:

From the Chronic:

The Texans start their preseason schedule with a Monday night game at Reliant Stadium against the New York Jets on Aug. 15.

In their second game, the Texans host New Orleans in their home-and-home preseason series. The Texans and Saints will practice against each other at Methodist Training Center before the game.

In their last two preseason games, the Texans travel to San Francisco and Minnesota.

The Texans aren't playing at the Dallas Cowboys, who played at Reliant Stadium last preseason.

Monumentally stupid not to have a Governor's Cup game but maybe it's the price we paid not to finish the season in Tampa like every other year.

Not a great idea finishing the pre-season in Minnesota either. Will the stadium be ready? How many guys will go on IR after playing on that "turf"?

[T]he facility is no longer viable and we’ve got to resolve the issue.”

So, game #3, the dress rehearsal with starters, will be in San Fran? That's not too bad, I suppose....

Here's hoping they actually play these games......
