ORLANDO, Fla. -- NFL owners approved to make Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair the new franchise principal owner at the league's annual meeting Tuesday.

"I'm honored to lead this franchise," McNair said in a statement. "This move ensures the long-term stability of our franchise."

Janice McNair, 87, became the Texans' principal owner after her husband, Bob McNair, the Texans' former owner, died in November 2018. Bob owned the team when the Texans originated in 2002.

After Bob's death, his son Cal operated the Texans' daily football procedures and represented the team at owner's meetings instead of Janice.
