Texans' Hal practices with cancer in remission
HOUSTON -- Houston Texans safety Andre Hal practiced on Wednesday, less than a month after he announced that his Hodgkin's lymphoma is in remission.
Hal has been on the non-football illness list since the team announced his cancer diagnosis in June. The Texans now have 21 days to add him to the active roster or he will stay on the list and will not be able to play again this year.
"We activated the 21-day window on him, so he'll be able to practice with the team," Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said. "At any point in time over the 21-day window we can decide to activate him to the 53-man roster, so we'll see where he's at and go from there. That's great news for [Hal] and for us."
