WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. - Jaelen Strong has emerged as a much more pivotal figure for the Texans' receiving corps this year through his personal improvement.
His continued development is also a necessity at a position that's experienced some injuries. DeAndre Hopkins hasn't practiced since last week and is on a pitch count. Will Fuller has a broken collarbone. Braxton Miller has a sprained ankle. And wide receiver DeAndrew White, a Houston native who played at North Shore and Alabama, is being placed on injured reserve with a groin injury as the Texans signed former Clemson wide receiver Germone Hopper.
