Texans OT Marcus Cannon, G Lane Taylor to start camp on PUP list

The Houston Texans have placed tackle Marcus Cannon and guard Lane Taylor on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp.

The Houston Texans have placed two offensive linemen on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp.

According to Aaron Wilson of Sports Talk 790, Marcus Cannon and Lane Taylor will go on the PUP list to start camp. They can be activated at any time, pending they pass their physicals.

Cannon had arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason, and the procedure could sideline him for a large portion of training camp.

Taylor, 31, had surgery to repair his ACL, and is expected to compete for the starting job.

The Texans also released long snapper Mitchell Fabroni and are hosting Dennis Kelly, formerly of the Tennessee Titans, for a visit. Kelly is the brother of Houston offensive coordinator Tim Kelly.

QB Deshaun Watson was ‘respectful’ when he reported to Texans training camp

Pro Bowl quarterback Deshaun Watson was “respectful,” according to reports, when he showed up to Houston Texans training camp.

Deshaun Watson made headlines on Sunday when he reported to Houston Texans training camp. The arrival of No. 4 marked the end of a six-month standoff between Watson and the AFC South club.

With the three-time Pro Bowler blinking in a stare down with the organization, there was some interest as to how he would comport himself rejoining a team he can’t wait to leave.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Watson actually was “respectful” when he showed up to Texans camp. However, the former 2017 first-round pick is still adamant that he wants to be traded and continue his pro football career in another NFL city.

When he reported to camp Sunday, Watson was respectful, but his demeanor reiterated he doesn’t want to be in Houston. The question is, will a team step up with the type of massive offer that would compel the #Texans to move him now? Watson also would have to waive his no-trade.

The Texans’ first training camp practice is Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. Central Time. By reporting to camp, Watson avoids a fine of $50,000 per day.

The Texans signed Watson to a four-year, $156 million contract in September of 2020. The 25-year-old will cost the Texans $15.94 million against the salary cap in 2021.
