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).

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.

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.

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

Their 'concern' might not be whether he can make it back to practice soon, but whether he can hold up through TC and into the season.

AJ for mayor

Anytime receiver Andre Johnson gets his hands on the ball, fans go crazy. He ran a crossing route this morning, caught a perfect pass from Matt Schaub, turn and ran into the end zone for touchdown. The fans went crazy cheering for him.

Puts on a show

Jeff Maehl, an undrafted receiver, put on a show in the morning practice and caught everything thrown to him. Working from the opponents’ 15-yard line, Maehl beat cornerback Shaun McManus and hauled in a beautifully thrown pass from Matt Leinart.

Playing takeaway

Second-year receiver Dorin Dickerson is off to a great start with the Texans. Even though he missed an offseason of coaching because of the lockout, Dickerson is a different receiver. He runs precise routes, makes quick cuts, shows excellent speed and athleticism and has been catching just about everything. On a fade route in the left corner, Matt Leinart threw a perfect pass, and the 6-2 Dickerson went high to take the ball away from 5-11 cornerback Johnathan Joseph for a touchdown.
