Texans players considered a massive walkout from practice Friday in the wake of controversial remarks by owner Bob McNair about the players' national anthem protests.
The only player who didn't attend practice due to the remarks was wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, whose absence was characterized as a "personal day" by coach Bill O'Brien.
The comments from McNair, "We can't have the inmates running the prison" disgusted, sickened, frustrated and didn't surprise Texans veteran offensive tackle Duane Brown. Brown added that the Texans' players aren't done with the issue and will reconvene to discuss their response further.
"I think the comments were disrespectful, I think it was ignorant, I think it was embarrassing," Brown said.
