HOUSTON -- It's a brightly colored reminder on the right side of Zac Dysert's torso.
Purple, pink, red, blue and green flowers adorn part of the Houston Texans' practice squad quarterback's waist. A woman's face with a wide smile and a purple hat atop her head is tattooed on his ribcage. In the bottom right corner, there's a heart-shaped magenta flower with a date: 11-17-14.
It was early that Monday morning when his phone rang last November, and his voice still thickens when he talks about it. This week marks a difficult anniversary for him.
