The Texans have been in the Dallas area since early Sunday morning. The team played a preseason game in New Orleans on Saturday and could not return to Houston because of the inclement weather. The Texans practiced at the Cowboys’ facility on Monday and are scheduled to do so on Tuesday as well.
Earlier Monday, Texans defensive end J. Watt said that if a game was going to be played this week, it should involve fundraising to help Houston residents affected by the flooding. On Saturday, Watt started an online fundraiser to raise money for flood relief efforts. As of Monday evening, it had raised nearly $750,000.
The Texans and owner Bob McNair also donated $1 million to the United Way of Greater Houston Flood Relief Fund. The NFL Foundation said it would match the $1 million donation.
In a release, the NFL said it will work with the Texans to “continue to closely monitor the situation in Houston and adjust the team’s plans as necessary.”
