Shaun Cody’s Time With The Texans Coming To An End?

Pro Football Weekly reports NT Shaun Cody is “unlikely to be with the Texans in 2013.” PFW notes that Earl Mitchell has played well enough with Cody out of the lineup that he could afford Houston the ability to move on without the veteran nose tackle.
