TEAMS: Houston Texans
Entering Day Seven of Houston Texans training camp, the big story in camp was the recent injury to J.J. Watt and the excused absence of wide receiver Lestar Jean. Here are some camp notes from today.         - There were plenty of rumors flying around on the absence of Lestar Jean from Thursday’s practice, but on Friday he was the first one on the field and was working with assistants on the jugs machine. Jean looked like a totally different player, almost rejuvenated from the previous days. He caught plenty of passes and caught a deep bomb from the arm of T.J. Yates on a play action pass. He will be a player on the radar to contribute and he will be tested in less than a week. - Brandon Brooks (Heat issues), Jared Crick (neck), Thomas Austin (leg), Greg Williams (leg), Jerrell Jackson (undisclosed), Shaun Cody (rest), Owen Daniels (rest), J.J. Watt (elbow), Randy Bullock (rest), Andre Johnson (groin), Duane Brown (leg), Kareem Jackson (Hamstring), Brett Hartman (ACL), Darryl Sharpt...
