Houston Texans: Andre Hal’s return and versatility will improve defense

The Houston Texans received great news this week… versatile defensive back Andre Hal has returned to practice after being diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma! His return means so much to this team so let’s break it down.

Last year Hal had 71 tackles and 3 interceptions and was one of the leaders of the defense. So coming into this season, he was supposed to be one of the starting safety’s. However, after blurry vision during practice, he was eventually diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.
