Although he can't play football right now while he battles Hodgkin's lymphoma, Texans free safety Andre Hal is constantly around his teammates.
Hal has been a mainstay at practice sessions and even warmed up a bit with his teammates Saturday night before a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers at NRG Stadium.
Hal is on the Texans' non-football illness list.
He was diagnosed in June with cancer and is being treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
