Healthy again, new Texans OLB Lamarr Houston learning on the fly
Dogged by knee injuries in recent years, new Texans outside linebacker Lamarr Houston is enjoying his rejuvenated health.
In 2014, the Chicago Bears signed Houston to a five-year, $35 million contract that included $15 million guaranteed. He tore his anterior cruciate ligament while celebrating a sack of New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014, then tore it again in 2016 and was placed on injured reserve.
"I'm feeling much better," Houston said. "I'm feeling ready to play some ball. I'm excited.
"It's a blessing, man. Any opportunity you get to play in this league is a privilege. You can't take it for granted."
